Sally Wheatley Lyrics

Sally Wheatley lyrics

Now I'm most depressed and sad  

 where I once was blithe and glad, 

 I could trip about the town  

 both trim and neatly, 

 I was happy night and morn  

 but from all such joys I'm shorn, 

 Since I fell so deep in love  

 with Sally Wheatley. 

  

 And it's oh dear me what am I gonna dae, 

 Sally's stole away me heart completely, 

 And I'll never get it back  

 for she gans with Mr. Black, 

 And they say he's goin' to marry Sally Wheatley. 

  

 Now I never saw such a lass  

 and I know she likes her glass, 

 She could toss a pot of whiskey over neatly, 

 Now it's right to take a drop  

 when you know just when to stop, 

 That was just the very way with Sally Wheatley. 

  

 How I felt I didn't knaw  

 the first time I Sally saw, 

 In a threesome reel  

 she hopped about so neatly, 

 Well I might've had a chance  

 if I'd asked her up to dance, 

 But I was over shy to speak  

 to Sally Wheatley. 

  

 Now he must have made it right  

 when he took her home that night, 

 'Cos after work dressed up  

 he goes to see her nightly, 

 There's great danger in delay  

 or I wouldn't be sad today, 

 If I had my heart t'would break  

 for Sally Wheatley
