Here's a link to my painting of Sally Goodin: http://richardmattesonsblog.blogspot.com/ My lyrics have: Sally is a "doxy." What is a doxy and where did the word originate? Richie |

21 Nov 08 - 01:35 PM (#2499459) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sally Gooden From: Q (Frank Staplin) Doxy- Grose, in his Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue (1811) defined doxies as "she beggars, wenches, whores." In 1561, Awdelay wrote "His woman with him..which he calleth his Altham, if she be hys wyfe, & if she be his harlot, she is called hys doxy." |

21 Nov 08 - 02:22 PM (#2499513) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sally Gooden From: Q (Frank Staplin) I have heard 'doxy' used as a slang word for 'sweetheart', years ago in college, by students with a perverted sense of humor, but doubt its currency anywhere now. I have an 1850s reference from an American minister who used the word in the sense of harlot. The American "Webster's Collegiate Dictionary" only has the meaning of floozie or prostitute. The word has become largely obsolete except in literary-historical usage. |

Goin' down the road and the road's mighty muddy I'm so drunk that I can't stand steady. Watermelon, cantaloupe, peach tree puddin' Ain't half as sweet as my little Sally Goodin. Stove lid's on, flap jacks a cookin' Stack 'em up high for my pretty Sally Goodin'. Kiss you all day and hug you all night Me and my Sally gonna make it all right. Tell you stories and sing you songs Marry me Sally and you can't go wrong. Possum up a gum stump, dog on the ground, Pull my trigger and a possum comes down. Bring you sody and bring you candy Oh, my little Sally, won't that be dandy? As we was watchin' the winding key Sally got stung by a goggle eyed bee. It's every time you hold my hand I walk over to the promised land. Sally come a kissin' me on my cheek I jumped over the Buckeye Creek. What you gonna do when the wind starts a blowin'? Run straight home with my petticoat a showin'. What you gonna do when the snow starts a flying? Run home to mama just a squawling and crying. I'm not a lyin' an' I'm not a kiddin' Crazy 'bout th' gal what you call Sally Goodin. It's the truth, I'll tell you well, If I can't have Sally, I'm bound for hell. Sally Goodin, Sally Goodin.

19 Aug 18 - 05:51 PM (#3945026) Subject: RE: Origins: Sally Goodin / Gooden From: Lighter In the Dallas Morning News of Aug. 8, 1927, fiddler/journalist J. B. Cranfill wrote: "'Sallie Gooden' is another of the old-time melodies and all of us know it by that name. There is a very interesting tradition concerning this tune. "How 'Sallie' Was Named "About a century ago in Tennessee there was a beautiful maiden named Sallie Gooden. She had two lovers, both of whom were fiddlers. Like many of the gentler sex, she found it difficult to decide which of these lovers she loved best, In her confusion she said she would accept the one who could play the most acceptable tune. When the test was made, she accepted one of them, who played with such intimate skill that he seemed inspired. Ever after that, this tune was called 'Sallie Gooden,' and it is now on a phonograph record by that name, after [a] rendition by Eck Robertson." |

19 Aug 18 - 07:44 PM (#3945048) Subject: RE: Origins: Sally Goodin / Gooden From: Lighter From the same paper in 1963: "Amos Foley came to Texas [around 1870] and settled in Leon County. He taught his sons, Tom, F.C., and Curtis to play the old Irish tunes before they took up the blueback speller or McGuffey's Reader. "In time, the sons began to adapt the fiddle music to their own environment. Curtis, for instance, was captivated by a Leon County girl named Sally Goodman. Suddenly he was inspired to play on his fiddle a fast-moving tune which he called 'Sally Goodin' to favor the girl who had charmed him. "The tune remains today in the repertoire of any good court-house square fiddler." |
