Soap Sally

(album: Ain't Nothin' Funny Anymore - 2021)

There is a hollow way back in the hills
A hollow they call Smoke Valley
That's where a crazy witchy woman lives
A woman that they call Soap Sally
Since she was a child
Sally wasn't right
She'd take off all her clothes
Go dance out in the moonlight
Her Mama and her Papanearly both went insane
Listen let me tell you how she got that name

Soap Sally
She lives back in the woods
Soap Sally
If she gets you that ain't good
She'll catch you, she'll hex you, she'll tie you up with rope
Throw you in a boiling cauldron cook you into soap
Soap Sally
Soap Sally

Well up in the mountains so the story goes
Set foot in Smoke Valley and Soap Sally knows
She'll jump out the bushes
She'll shock and surprise you
She'll do her naked dance and that will hypnotize you

Soap Sally
She lives back in the woods
Soap Sally
If she gets you that ain't good
She'll catch you, she'll hex you, she'll tie you up with rope
She'll throw you in a boiling cauldron cook you into soap
She's Soap Sally
Soap Sally

A young man from Atlanta
Handsome in his prime
Walked into Smoke Valley
Back in 1999
Said he'd come to see Soap Sally
Said it was a social call
They told him "man, that woman's crazy"
He said "heh ain't we all"

He went walking through that Valley calling for that girl
She jumped out the bushes and she began to whirl
He just took off all his clothes stacked 'em in a pile
And they both started dancing
Lord have mercy it was wild

Soap Sally

Well you can see 'em sometimes when the moon is bright
Dancing there together out in the moonlight
But stay out of Smoke Valley that's my advice to you
Unless you're young, and handsome, and a little crazy too

Soap Sally
She lives back in the woods
Soap Sally
If she gets you that ain't good
She'll catch you, she'll hex you, she'll tie you up with rope
Throw you in a boiling cauldron cook you into soap
Soap Sally
