Out From The Valley & Into The Stars

I'd had enough of the valley

So I took a walk down to Vincent street

Thinking there might be somebody

Hanging round there that I'd like to meet

But I walked round there for hours

And there was no one that I could see

No one but three gutter flowers

All singing: Oh pretty darling

Move on pretty darling

So I went back to the valley

And there was still nothing there but weeds

And my girl long, tall sally

Just said: Baby, it's all free with me

So I sailed out to the island

Lay on my back staring at the stars

And they all danced high above me

All singing: Oh pretty darling

Just go home pretty darling

So I sailed back from the island

And I stood there now just skin and bones

Hoping to say: Hey Sally

Well come on then, let's give it a go

But sally'd gone and got married

So I sat up in that house alone

Looking back out across the valley

And singing: Oh pretty darling

Why'd you run pretty darling?

Oh, pretty darling
