(sally go round the roses - tim buckley)
come on, let's bring this musty ol' studio alive with a little hand jive on the beat, come on
well i know you gonna remember a little bit about this tune
way back when you were sniffin' amyl nitrate and sniffin' glue
and climbin' all over that little girl in the back seat of your daddy's car
you had one foot in the glove compartment
and the other toe was tryin' to change the dial on the radio
but some of us weren't that fortunate, we had to harmonise our way through
walkin' to the school, or down by the gym, or outside the bar
we'd harmonise like this...
well i'm singing 'bout sally go round the roses, honey
sally go round the roses
sally go round the roses
sally go round the roses
oh, sally don't you go down
oh, sally don't you go downtown
the saddest thing in this whole wide world
is to find you baby been layin' with another girl
oh, sally don't you go down honey
oh, sally don't you go downtown
well i'm goin' downtown
and i'm drinkin' tonight
i'm goin' downtown
i'm gonna be dancin' tonight
i'm goin' downtown
i'm gonna drink myself blind
i'm goin' downtown
i gotta keep that moon high
it's been a long time
since i've had my way
it's been a long time
since i've had my way at all
i wanna do that rockin' belly roll honey
i wanna sing that jukebox melody
oh, sally don't you go down momma
i wanna stroll like we used to stroll
way back home down in baltimore
singin' sally go round the roses
sally go round the roses
sally go round the roses
sally go round the roses
oh, sally don't you go down woman
oh, baby don't you go downtown
the saddest thing in this whole wide world
to find your woman been layin' with another girl
oh sally don't you go down woman
oh darlin' don't you go downtown now
i'm singin' sally go round the roses
i'm singin' sally go round the roses
i'm singin' sally go round the roses
i'm singin' sally go round the roses
i'm singin' sally go right around
sally go right around
sally go right around
sally go right around
the roses, roses
