[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
The nightlife took me down to Printer's Alley
Where Sally sang a song behind a bar
I ran my eyes across her as she sang a tangled mime
I used to love to hear her sweet guitar
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Me and Sally took up, things began to look up
Me and her were going strong
Then she started lying, I could see our love was dying
I heard a voice say, "Move along, move along"
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Take it, chaps
Sally G
Yeah, Sally G
