Sally Wheatley

Now I'm most depressed and sad

Where I once was blithe and glad

I could trip about the town both trim and neatly

I was happy night and morn'

But from all such joys I'm shorn

Since I fell so deep in love with Sally Wheatley

And it's Oh, dear me, what am I gonna dee

Sally stole away me heart completely

And I'll never get it back, for she gans with mister Black

And they say he's going to marry Sally Wheatley

Now I never saw such a lass

And I know she likes her glass

She could toss a pot of whiskey over neatly

Now it's right to take a drop

When you know just when to stop

That was just the very way with Sally Wheatley

And it's Oh, dear me, what am I gonna dee

Sally stole away me heart completely

And I'll never get it back, for she gans with mister Black

And they say he's going to marry Sally Wheatley

How I felt I didn't know

The first time I Sally saw

In a threesome reel she hopped about so neatly

Well I might have had a chance

If I asked her up to dance

But I was over shy to speak to Sally Wheatley

And it's Oh, dear me, what am I gonna dee

Sally stole away me heart completely

And I'll never get it back, for she gans with mister Black

And they say he's going to marry Sally Wheatley

Now he must have made it right

When he took her home that night

'Cause after work, dressed up, he goes to see her nightly

There's great danger in delay

Or I wouldn't be sad today

If I had me heart to break for Sally Wheatley

And it's Oh, dear me, what am I gonna dee

Sally stole away me heart completely

And I'll never get it back, for she gans with mister Black

And they say he's going to marry Sally Wheatley

And it's Oh, dear me, what am I gonna dee

Sally stole away me heart completely

And I'll never get it back, for she gans with mister Black

And they say he's going to marry Sally Wheatley

And they say he's going to marry Sally Wheatley
