Somewhere to the south of New York City

Lies the friendly state of Tennessee

Down in Nashville town then I met a pretty

Who made a pretty big fool out of me



And they call her Sally, Sally G

Why d'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 night life 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 d'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 going strong



Then she started lyin'

I could see our love was dyin'

I heard a 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 d'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



Take a chance

Sally G

Yeah, Sally G
