Sally Ann

[Verse 1] My true love did breathe By the Sally Ann so softly That while walkin' through town Only my heart did hear him In views of the city [Verse 2] There ain't many folks By the Sally Ann so pretty That while walkin' through town Many a twisted feature Made a terrible beauty Beauty [Refrain] And then I knew And then I knew I'd been there before [Verse 3] One thing you must know By the Sally Ann directly Is that the pockets don't hold Any more sunken treasures After baptism by whiskey [Verse 4] But when leavin' the bar By the Sally Ann just barely That old angel may allow Light from above the mountain And red brick walls blooming You may see [Refrain] And then you'll know And then you'll know You've been there before And then you'll know And then you'll know You've been there before
