Sally in Our Alley (1931) is a romantic drama comedy [film], starring Gracie Fields, Ian Hunter, and Florence Desmond.
The film incorporated Gracie Fields' hugely popular signature song, Sally, itself an reference to Henry Carey's 1725 song, Sally in Our Alley, which had long been a traditional English country dance.===

PresumSably this is the popular song version refd & queried about by Q, 17 Sep 04 02.29 PM, remembered from his childhood ===
Here it is···

SALLY

(Will E. Haines / Harry Leon / Leo Towers)

Gracie Fields


Sally, Sally don't ever wander
Away from the alley and me
Sally, Sally marry me Sally
And happy forever I'll be
When skies are blue you're beguiling
And when they're grey you're still smiling, smiling
Sally, Sally pride of our alley
You're more than the whole world to me.

The skies were blue when I met you, Sally
You were my gal, my little pal, so true
You came along, made life a song, Sally
If I lost you I wonder what I'd do.

Sally, Sally don't ever wander
Away from the alley and me
Sally, Sally marry me Sally
And happy forever I'll be
When skies are blue you're beguiling
And when they're grey you're still smiling, smiling
Sally, Sally pride of our alley
You're more than the whole world to me.
