Sally Ann lyrics

My true love did breathe

By the Sally Ann so softly

That while walkin' through 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, 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

That 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

And then you'll know, and then you'll know

You've been there before
