Somewhere to the south of New York City
Lies the friendly state of Tennessee
Down in Nashville Town, I met a pretty
Who made a pretty big fool out of me
And they call her Sally, Sally G
Why do you wanna do the things you do to me?
You're my Sally, Sally G
You took the part that was the heart of me
Sally G
The nightlife took me down to Printers Alley
Where Sally sang a song behind the bar
I ran my eyes across her
As she sang a tangled mime
I used to love to hear her sweet guitar
And they call her Sally, Sally G
Why do you wanna do the things you do to me?
You're my Sally, Sally G
You took the part that was the heart of me
Sally G
Me and Sally took up
Things began to look up
Me and her were goin' strong
Then she started lyin'
I could see our love was dyin'
I heard her voice say, "Move along, move along"
Well, now I'm on my own again, I wonder
If she ever really understood
I never thought to ask her
What the letter "G" stood for
But I know for sure it wasn't good
And they call her Sally, Sally G
Why do you wanna do the things you do to me?
You're my Sally, Sally G
You took the part that was the heart of me
Sally G
