Sally Jo

I got me in bed and covered my head
Wish I was dead with Sally Jo
Sally Jo where did you go Sally Jo
Since you have gone my days are turned to night
Nothin' goes right Sally Jo
Sally Jo where did you go Sally Jo
The hurt you left has just begun to show
Sally Jo I've been so low
Sally Jo where did you go Sally Jo
I'm like a little dog left out to stray
No one wants me no place to stay
Sally Jo where did you go Sally Jo
Did I do bad or was I good to you
Yes or no Sally Jo
Sally Jo where did you goSally Jo
The torch I carried had a light so bright
For me to see Sally Jo
Sally Jo where did you go Sally Jo
Sally Jo Sally Jo
hear my plea come back to me
