Lyrics
Sally Ann
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.
My true love did breathe by the Sally Ann
so softly
That while walkin' through the town only my heart
did hear him
In views of the city
There ain't many folks by the
Sally Ann so pretty
That while walkin' through town,
many a twisted features
Made a terrible beauty
And then I knew
And then I knew, I'd been there before
One thing you must know by the
Sally Ann directly
Is that the pockets
don't hold any more sunken treasures
After baptism by whiskey
But when leavin' the bar by the Sally Ann
just barely
The old angel may allow light from above
the mountain
And red brick walls blooming, you may see
And then you'll know
And then you'll know, you've been there before
