Sali's Song

Sally went down, she went down Gonna meet the devil down south Oh, how can it be? Me and my girl, we had a quarrel Didn't see her today, but I'll see her tomorrow Oh, how can it be? Well, run and tell your ma, run and tell your pa That things ain't right the way they are It's such a cruel and evil world To put an end to a golden girl Oh, my Lord, how can it be? Sally went down, she went down Gonna meet the maker down south Oh, how can it be? It's enough to make the devil cry Throw the night out of the sky You call the wolves, but the wolves don't come Now how we gonna live with the deed he's done? Oh, my Lord, how can it be? The earth stood still, the earth stood still Stood and stared, it didn't do anything The earth stood still, the earth stood still Stood and stared, it couldn't do anything Nothing makes sense now, nothing makes sense now Everything's upside down Nothing makes sense now, nothing makes sense now Everything's been turned around Oh, God, are you listening to me now? I just can never forgive you For this deed you let go down Sally went down, she went down Gonna meet the devil down south Oh, how can it be? So, run and tell your ma, run and tell your pa That things ain't right the way they are And don't you laugh and don't you cry 'Cause you'll be an angel by and by Oh, by and by, how can it be? Sally went down, she went down
