Sally In Our Alley🌹

+ Show full styles

[Instrumental break]
(8 bars)
When she is by I leave my Work, 
I love her so sincerely
My Master comes like any Turk, 
And bangs me most severely; 
But, let him bang his Belly full, 
I’ll bear it all for SALLY; 
She is the Darling of my Heart, 
And she lives in our Alley.
Of all the Days that’s in the Week, 
I dearly love but one Day, 
And that’s the Day that comes betwixt 
A Saturday and Monday; 
For then I’m drest, all in my best, 
To walk abroad with SALLY; 
She is the Darling of my Heart, 
And she lives in our Alley.

[Instrumental break]
(8 bars)
My Master carries me to Church, 
And often am I blamed, 
Because I leave him in the lurch, 
As soon as Text is named: 
I leave the Church in Sermon time, 
And slink away to SALLY; 
She is the Darling of my Heart, 
And she lives in our Alley.
When Christmas comes about again, 
O then I shall have Money; 
I’ll hoard it up, and Box and all 
I’ll give it to my Honey: 
And, would it were ten thousand Pounds; 
I’d give it all to SALLY; 
She is the Darling of my Heart, 
And she lives in our Alley.

[Instrumental break]
(8 bars)
My Master and the neighbours all, 
Make game of me and SALLY; 
And but for her I’d better be 
A Slave and row a Galley: 
But when my seven long Years are out, 
O then I’ll marry SALLY! 
O then we’ll wed

and then we’ll bed, 
But not in our Alley.
