Tim Buckley - Sally Go 'Round the Roses Lyrics

Sally go round the roses
Sally go round the roses
Sally go round the roses
Sally go round the roses

Oh, Sally don't you go down
Oh, Sally don't you go down

The saddest thing in this whole wide world
Is to find your baby been laying with another girl
Sally, don't you do down, honey
Aw, Sally don't you go down town

Well, I'm going down town, Lord, I'm drinkin' tonight
I'm goin' down town, gonna be dancin' tonight
I'm goin down town, gonna drink myself blind
I'm goin' down town, I gotta keep that mood high

It's been a long time since I've had my way
It's been a long time since I've had my way at all

I want to do that drunken belly rub
I want to sing that jukebox melody
Now sally, don't you go down
I want to stroll like we used to stroll
Way back home in Baltimore

Singing, Sally go round the roses
Sally go round the roses
Sally go round the roses
Sally go round the roses

Sally, don't you go down
Oh, baby don't you go down town

The saddest thing in this whole wide world
To find your baby been laying with another girl
Sally, don't you go down
Oh, darlin', don't you go down town

I'm singin', Sally go round the roses
I'm singin', Sally go round the roses
I'm singin', Sally go round the roses
I'm singin', Sally go round the roses

I'm singin', Sally go it around
Sally go it around
Sally go it around
Sally go it around
The roses, roses
Sally going round the roses
