Subject: Lyr Add: SALLY WHEATLEY (Joe Wilson, A. Glasgow)
And here it is from the Bob Fox & Stu Luckley LP
"Nowt s'gud'll pass"

SALLY WHEATLEY
(words Joe Wilson ... music A. Glasgow)

Now I'm most depressed and sad,
When I once was blithe and glad,
I could trip around the town both trim and neatly.
I was happy night and morn,
But of all such joys I'm shorn,
Since I fell so deep in love with Sally Wheatley.

Chorus;
And Oh dear me, what am I ganna de,
Sally's taken me heart away completely,
And I'll never get it back ,
'Cos she gans with Mr Black,
And they say he's gan te marry Sally Wheatley.

Well I've never seen such a lass,
And I know she liked her glass,
She could toss a pot of whisky over sweetly.
Well its right to take a drop,
If you know just when to stop,
That was just the very way with Sally Wheatley.

Chorus;

How I felt I diven't knaw,
The first time I Sally saw,
In a threesome reel she hopped about se leetly.
And I might have had a chance,
If I'd asked her up to dance,
But I was ower shy to speak to Sally Wheatley.

Chorus;

So, as often is the case,
You'll find others in your place,
If ye diven't shove ahead and fettle reetly.
For I'd scarcely turned me back,
Aye, and there was Mr Black,
He was jigging round the room with Sally Wheatley.

Chorus;

Well, he must have made it right,
When he set her home that night,
'Cos after work, dressed up, he goes to see her neetley.
Well there's great danger in delay,
Or I wouldn't be sad today,
If I had a heart I'd break it for Sally Wheatley.

Chorus;

Love & happiness

Ritchie
