Lyrics Sally Goodin' - Woody Guthrie

Sally Goodin'

Looked down the road, seen my Sally comin'
Thought to my soul I’d kill myself a runnin'
Goin' down the road and the road’s mighty muddy
I’m so drunk that I can’t stand steady
Watermelon, cantaloupe, peach tree puddin'
Ain’t half as sweet as my little Sally Goodin
Stove lid’s on, flap jacks a cookin'
Stack 'em up high for my pretty Sally Goodin
Kiss you all day and hug you all night
Me and my Sally gonna make it all right
Tell you stories and sing you songs
Marry me Sally and you can’t go wrong
Possum up a gum stump, dog on the ground
Pull my trigger and a possum comes down
Bring you sody and bring you candy
Oh, my little Sally, won’t that be dandy?
As we was watchin' the winding key
Sally got stung by a goggle eyed bee
It’s every time you hold my hand
I walk over to the promised land
Sally come a kissin' me on my cheek
I jumped over the Buckeye Creek
What you gonna do when the wind starts a blowin'?
Run straight home with my petticoat a showin'
What you gonna do when the snow starts a flying?
Run home to mama just a squawling and crying
I’m not a lyin' an' I’m not a kiddin'
Crazy 'bout th' gal what you call Sally Goodin
It’s the truth, I’ll tell you well
If I can’t have Sally, I’m bound for hell
Sally Goodin, Sally Goodin.
Sally Goodin.
Sally Goodin
Sally Goodin.
Sally Goodin.
Sally Goody, Goody, Goodin
