The Holy Fools - Sally's on the River Lyrics




Sally's on the river
On the river once again
She's going down to Vicksburg
To see her special friend
Oh Sally, oh Sally
Where's this gonna end?

Mary's on the river
She's coming to the shore
She'll be here till the evening
Then she won't be here no more
Oh Mary, oh Mary
I can't help it that I'm poor

I followed this old river
Until I lost my way
I know it's going to kill me
If I go or if I stay

I've been on the river
Since back in '33
That's when my first love left me
For a man in Tennessee
Oh darling, oh my darling
Do you ever think of me?

Give me understanding
Go easy on my soul
One day you might be broken
And left out in the cold
Oh Sally, oh Mary
Oh my darling, my sweet lost darling
Can the river take me home?
