Is there anyone out there that's ever heard it or was this truly the creation of the person I heard singing it...and it's lost like a soap bubble in the stream of the folk tradition............??????? Back in the fall of 1965 at Amherst College I heard a talented freshman sing this song with guitar accompaniment. I remember only a beginning and a bit of the end, though I do remember the tune. Here goes: Walking down the street, I chanced to meet Miss Sallyyyyyyyyyy Ann, She was a hip-swinging blue-eyed blonde for every lovin' man I said, "Sweet Sal. be a honey, be a pal, give me joy, gimme fun, show me sweet Momma just how it done" Well, she winked a wink of her blue false eyelashed eye and I knew right then I was her man < and that's what I remember of the beginning...I have just a bit of the memorable ending> 'Til the very next morning she was the Devil's daughter and I couldn't pass water Anyone have the song complete? The tune has a swinging, stomping beat |

I have a couple of suggestions, though. 1. Allmusic.com lists no song called MISS SALLY ANN; however, there are about 210 recordings called SALLY ANN. You might try listening to samples to see if you recognize any of them. 2. You could write to the Amherst alumni magazine (I assume there is such a thing). Maybe someone could identify the singer. Then maybe you could contact the singer directly. Good luck! |

I can only remember the opening: Walking down the street I chanced to meet, Miss Sally Ann, She was a hip-swingin blue-eyed blonde for every lovin' man I said sweet Sal, Be a honey, be a pal Show me sweet Mama just how it's done Well she gave me a wink of a blue eyelashed eye.... ...after that I can only remember She was the Devil's daughter and I couldn't pass water. Anyone have it complete? |
