Sally Was A Good Old Girl

(album: You're The Reason I'm Living - 1963)

Whoa! Sally used to carry my books to school
Sally was a good old girl
Ah, she helped me with my homework 'cause I was a fool
Sally was a good old girl.

If you wanted a kiss or a little bit of sweetness
She was always willing to do her best to please
She girls made for love are not made to tease
Sally was a good old girl.

Sally was a good old girl... yeah, yeah, yeah...
Sally was a good old girl... yeah, yeah, yeah...
No matter what the request
She gave you her best
Sally was a good old girl.

Now, her folks were poor and she helped all she could
Sally was a good old girl
She was the hardest working girl in the neighborhood
Sally was a good old girl.

Yeah! She walked up and down the streets all day
A-selling neckties to the ones who'd pay
If ya didn't have the money she would give 'em away
A-Sally was a good old girl.

Sally was a good old girl... yeah, yeah, yeah...
Sally was a good old girl... yeah, yeah, yeah...
No matter what the request
She gave you her best
Sally was a good old girl.

Whoa! She was the favorite with all the men
Sally was a good old girl
Yeah, and all the other girls despised her then
Sally was good old girl.

Do you believe me that...
A-Sally never minded, she couldn't care
She kept on a-working an' a-doing her share
She wound up a-married to a millionaire
Sally was a good old girl.

Ow talk to me!

Sally was a good old girl
Sally was a good old girl
No matter what the request
She gave you her best
Sally was a good old girl.

Yeeee-a-up!
Oh... good old girl
No matter what the request
She gave you her best
Sally was a good old girl!
