The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sally, Sally, Sally, don't you grieve. (Well-a, well now)
(Repeat twice)
And I told her not to grieve after me.
Well, its when I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve. (Repeat twice)
And I told her not to grieve after me.
Well, I'm in love with Sally and she use to love me but she's
gotten kind of busy just recently.
Well, I'm feelin' so bad I can't stand it anymore. I'm gonna get
my hat and then I'm gonna hit the door.
Well, it's when I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve. (Repeat
twice)
And I told her not to grive after me.
Well, I'm a-going down the road with my troubles on my mind. I
love that woman but I wasn't born blind.
She tried to make me stay but I had to tell her "No!"
She should've quit a-foolin' with me long time ago.
Well, it's bye, bye, baby, goodbye, goodbye. (Repeat twice)
And I told her not to grieve after me.
Sally said she was sorry. I even think she cried. When she left,
it kinda hurt my pride.
To think that I could never teach her what true loves mean, I
guess she couldn't help it 'cause she's only thirteen.
Well, it's when I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve. (Repeat
twice)
And I told her not to grive after me. (Repeat)
