The Dubliners - Sally Wheatley lyrics
[The Dubliners - 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 thе very
Way with Sally Wheatley
And it's, "Oh dеar 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
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
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 he must have made it right
When he took her home that night
'Cause 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
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
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
And they say he's goin'
To marry Sally Wheatley
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 thе very
Way with Sally Wheatley
And it's, "Oh dеar 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

To marry Sally Wheatley
And they say he's goin'
To marry Sally Wheatley
