Malvina Reynolds - Sally Don't You Grieve Songtexte

Chorus:
When I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve,
When I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve,
When I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve,
And I told her not to grieve after me.

Restless foot and a roving mind,
I'm gonna leave this town behind,
Leave my honey so sweet and kind,
And I told her not to grieve after me.

(Chorus)

I am one of them rambling men,
Trav'ling since I don't know when,
Here I come and then gone again,
And I told her not to grieve after me.

(Chorus)

Big old road goes round the bend,
There's a pot of gold at the other end,
Sally says that I'll never mend,
And I told her not to grieve after me.

(Chorus)

I've been roaming everywhere
Never been satisfied anywhere;
I dream of Sally so sweet and fair,
And I told her not to grieve after me.

(Chorus)

Goodbye, Sally, my heart's delight,
I will come back when the moon is bright,
If you're gone, it will serve me right,
And I told her not to grieve after me.

(Chorus)
