Sally Goodin' - Woody Guthrie

Looked down the road, seen my Sally comin'

Thought to my soul I’d kill myself a runnin'

Goin' down the road and the road’s mighty muddy

I’m so drunk that I can’t stand steady

Watermelon, cantaloupe, peach tree puddin'

Ain’t half as sweet as my little Sally Goodin

Stove lid’s on, flap jacks a cookin'

Stack 'em up high for my pretty Sally Goodin

Kiss you all day and hug you all night

Me and my Sally gonna make it all right

Tell you stories and sing you songs

Marry me Sally and you can’t go wrong

Possum up a gum stump, dog on the ground

Pull my trigger and a possum comes down

Bring you sody and bring you candy

Oh, my little Sally, won’t that be dandy?

As we was watchin' the winding key

Sally got stung by a goggle eyed bee

It’s every time you hold my hand

I walk over to the promised land

Sally come a kissin' me on my cheek

I jumped over the Buckeye Creek

What you gonna do when the wind starts a blowin'?

Run straight home with my petticoat a showin'

What you gonna do when the snow starts a flying?

Run home to mama just a squawling and crying

I’m not a lyin' an' I’m not a kiddin'

Crazy 'bout th' gal what you call Sally Goodin

It’s the truth, I’ll tell you well

If I can’t have Sally, I’m bound for hell

Sally Goodin, Sally Goodin.

Sally Goodin.

Sally Goodin

Sally Goodin.

Sally Goodin.

Sally Goody, Goody, Goodin
