[ claus, powell, and hyman (the horse flies) ]
A woman of beauty
A woman of pain
In france or jakarta
Her shadow’s the same
Chorus:
You go home with sally ann
You go home with sally ann
You go home
A woman of kindness
With bracelets of jade
In china or japan
Her choices are made
Chorus
A woman of chances
No family or friends
In argentina
She knows only men
Chorus
A woman of color
Debts to be paid
In trenton or detroit
She lives by the blade
All eyes on Her from dawn till dusk
Hanging on Her every word
Kings and Queens never saw such a fuss
Her Servants are waiting to serve
Sally Ann Sally Ann
Oh when you dance
Every move that you make is amazing.
Take my Heart Take my Hand
Hey Sally Ann
Life will be all that you make it.
I must have got caught in your hair so bright
Got lost in your eyes so blue
I followed around in circles all night
For a chance to dance with you
It breaks my heart to hear her cry
I’m a Fool for Her for sure
See me swallowing my pride
She got me crawling on the floor
My true love did breathe by the sally ann
Just barely
That while walkin’ through the town only my heart
Did hear him
In views of the city
There ain’t many folks by the
Sally ann so pretty
That while walkin’ through town,
Many a twisted features
Made a terrible beauty
And then i knew
And then i knew, i’d been there before
One thing you must know by the
Sally ann directly
Is that the pockets
Don’t hold any more sunken treasures
After baptism by whiskey
But when leavin’ the bar by the sally ann
Just barely
The old angel may allow light from above
The mountain
And red brick walls blooming, you may see
And then you’ll know
And then you’ll know, you’ve been there before
