Suicide Sal

Suicide sal was an uptown girl

She made them laugh and sing

And the silken girl that you walked to town

Made their all times seem like spring

Suicide sal was everyone's pal

She wore her heart on her speech

But the musical years led only to tears

Oh, too soon she had to leave

Suicide sal,

Everyone thought she was wild

But nobody knew

What she'd been through

She had the heart of a child

Suicide sal, where are you now?

Your fame lives on and on

You're the lady of the night

When you stepped into the light

Light became a musical song

Chorus

Now the story has no end

Sal was my friend

Her spirit lives on in me

When i sing my song

I hear her sing along

We're both leaves on the family tree.
