Sally go 'round the roses.
(Sally go 'round the roses.)
Sally go 'round the roses.
(Sally go 'round the roses.)
Cause roses, they can't hurt you.
(Because roses, they can't hurt you.)
Roses, they can't hurt you.
(Roses, they can't hurt you.)
Sally don't you go, don't cha go downtown.
Sally don't you go, now don't cha go downtown.
It's the saddest thing in the whole wide world,
To see your baby with another girl.
Sally go 'round the roses.
(Sally go 'round the roses.)
Sally go 'round the roses.
(Sally go 'round the roses.)
Because they won't tell your secrets.
(Because they won't tell your secrets.)
They won't tell your secrets.
(They won't tell your secrets.)
Sally, baby, cry, and let your hair hang down.
Sally, baby, cry, and let your hair hang down.
You can sit and cry where the roses grow,
sit and cry, not a soul will know.

Sally go 'round the roses.

Because roses, they can't hurt you.
(Because roses, they won't hurt hurt you.)
No, the roses, they can't hurt you.
The roses, they can't hurt you.
Sally don't you go, don't you go downtown.
Sally don't you go, no don't you go downtown.
You can sit and cry where the roses grow,
sit and cry, not a soul will know.
