[Instrumental] [Male Voice] [Verse] Legends talk of an incident, Took place in the old silver mine. A woman, by the name of Sally, Hid a bloody body at quittin’ time. [Pre-chorus] The foreman was a very bad man, Who always played to win. He cornered Sally time and again, But Sally, she never gave in. [Chorus] Oh Sally, poor Sally, what have you done, Suspected of murder, she picked up and run, Changed her name and wandered alone. But they’ll never find the foreman or gun, Under that shaft of stone. [Verse 2] Someone saw Sally’s face again, In a town with a different name, So she would cut and die her hair, That’s the way she played the game. [strong instrumental] [Pre-chorus] Lawyers say, they couldn’t convict, With no weapon or body found. Sally didn’t need to go and run, Only Sally’s conscience, held her bound. [Chorus] Oh Sally, poor Sally, what have you done, Suspected of murder, she picked up and run, Changed her name and wandered alone. But they’ll never find the foreman or gun, Under that shaft of stone. [Bridge] Oh, foreman, foreman where have you gone, Everyone thought you picked up and ran, Shaved your beard and started over again. Back to your mother where your life began. [Outro] He’d pushed every worker too far, So ignored, was the body, That laid limp in a cart. Gone was the man with the evil heart. [Fade out (slow delivery)] Oooh, Sally, was the goat, who saved their names, She cut and ran to take all the blame. (Sally poor Sally, took all the blame, Sally oh Sally, you took the blame, the blame.)
