Here is the lyrics to Sally Wheatley

as sung by The Dubliners on the album 25 Years Celebration

HTH, Andreas

Sally Wheatley

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 and (shorn ???)
Since I fell so deep in love with Sally Wheatley

Chorus [after each verse, twice after last verse, last time repeat last line]
And it's oh dear me
What am I gonna dee
Sally stole away my heart completely
And I'll never get it back
For she gans [= goes] with Mister 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 part of whiskey over neatley
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 know
The first time I Sally saw
In a threesome reel she hopped about so neatly
Well I might have 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
Cause after work dressed up he goes to see her nightly
There's great danger in delay
Oh, I wouldn't be sad today
If I had my heart to break for Sally Wheatley
