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
