Olive Lewin (Jamaican folklorist) gives this song in her study of JA traditional material _Rock It Come Over_ (2000), which she recorded in 1968.
Sally was a whorin' mulatta
Oh Sally
Sally was a whorin' mulatta
Oh Sally
Sally sweet a day, Sally sweet a night
Sally sweet a day, Sally sweet a night
Sally was a whorin' mulatta
Oh Sally
Work was performed on "Oh Sally."
It was used for hauling houses, which were propped onto logs and to which the ropes were attached.
