Sally Wheatley - The Dubliners

Now I’m most depressed and sad

Where I once was blithe and glad,

I could trip about the town

Both trim and neatly,

I was happy night and morn

But from all such joys I’m shorn,

Since I fell so deep in love

With Sally Wheatley.

And it’s oh dear me what am I gonna dae,

Sally’s stole away me heart completely,

And I’ll never get it back

For she gans with Mr. Black,

And they say he’s goin' to marry Sally Wheatley.

Now I never saw such a lass

And I know she likes her glass,

She could toss a pot of whiskey over neatly,

Now it’s right to take a drop

When you know just when to stop,

That was just the very way with Sally Wheatley.

How I felt I didn’t knaw

The first time I Sally saw,

In a threesome reel

She hopped about so neatly,

Well I might’ve had a chance

If I’d asked her up to dance,

But I was over shy to speak

To Sally Wheatley.

Now he must have made it right

When he took her home that night,

'Cos after work dressed up

He goes to see her nightly,

There’s great danger in delay
