Sweet Sally

Deep in the heart of a Texas alley
The water runs dust
You let me Sally
We danced a while, I held you in my arm
Then in the morning as the sun did come
I saw big ol' daddy
Big ol' shotgun
The preacher with his wedding songs for us
I ain't nothin' but a country singer
I got no chains, no rings upon my finger
Got the open road
Thought I heard it call me then
And I could hang for the things I've done
But that's okay, I've had my fun
You only go around once, so go away Sweet Sally
Deep in the belly of a Texas prison
The chain gang humdrum
And a slop sink kitchen
There's a cookie with a sweetened eye for me
'Bout every morning as the sun does come
I see big ol' warden
Big ol' shotgun
And a preacher with his wedding songs for us
I guess I'll never be a country singer
I got these chains, no rings upon my finger
Got a hangin' rope and preacher when I die
And I could hang for the things I've done
But that's okay, I've had my fun
You only go around once, so go away Sweet Sally
I guess I'll hang for the things I've done
But that's okay, I've had my fun
You only go around once, go away Sweet Sally
