I was born on the right side,
big house and a picket fence
how i got to the left side never seemed
to make much sense
i had a strong foundation,
lord knows mama tried
i was born on a black night
with the devil by my side
so long sally johnson, i think of you today
you know i tried to do you right
but the devil got in my way
I let out at 15 in a burned out cadillac
left a trail of wreckage
and i never once looked back
now i'm a wanted criminal
but you'll never see my face
i linger in the shadows
and i'm gone without a trace
so long sally johnson, i think of you today
you know i tried to do you right
but the devil got in my way
I met a little girl in reno and
i asked her to be my bride
we walked the aisle together
with the devil by my side
all that night the wind blew,
in the morning she was gone
so long sally johnson, i know
i done you wrong
I was born on the right side
but you'd never know today
my clothes are worn and ragged,
my hair is turning gray
when darkness falls upon me
you won't see me around
but i'll think of you forever
when i'm six feet in the ground
so long sally johnson, i think of you today
you know i tried to do you right
but the devil got in my way
Oh the devil, the devil got in my way
so long sally johnson, i think of you today
