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 d'you wanna do the things you do to me?
You're my Sally, Sally G
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 a 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
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
Took the part that was the heart of me, Sally G

Sally G!
