Sally Go Round The Roses

Sally go round the roses...

Oh, Sally don’t you go down
Oh, Sally’, don’t you go down

The saddest thing in this whole wide world
Is to find your baby been laying with another girl
Sally, don’t you do down
Sally, don’t you go down

I’m going downtown
Lord, I’m drinking tonight
I’m going downtown
Goons have a big city night
I’m gonna drink myself blind
Goin’ downtown
Gotta keep that moon high

It’s been a long time
Since I’ve had my way
It’s been a long time
Since I’ve had my way at all

I want to do that drunken belly roll
I want to sing that juke box melody
I want to stroll
Like we used to stroll
Way back home down in Baltimore

Sally go round the roses

Sally, don’t you go down
Baby don’t you go down
The saddest thing in this whole wide world
To find your woman been laying with another girl

Sally, don’t you go down
Oh, darling, don’t you go down town

I’m singing Sally go round the roses…
