Sally

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Snared about her winsome glance and mad about the town Kicking heels has lost its charm and every boy's a clown Leave a trail of dusted boots and choose a toecap then Or kiss me here or kick me there and lovers won't be friends [Chorus] I'm a plough and you were a furrow I'm a fox and you were a burrow I'm a weed and you were the road You were a man (You were a man) And I'm alone [Verse 2] Sally was a daisy chain and Sally was a rock Sally let her hair hang low and Sally wore a frock Someone saw a local boy crawl along the shore "Well, must be someone's son," they thought and should've thought some more" [Chorus] I'm a plough and you were a furrow I'm a fox and you were a burrow I'm a weed and you were the road You were a man (You were a man) I'm alone [Verse 3] Sally saw the boy come near right beneath the sun Breathing hard and cockle proud and Sally's heart was won Not a boy she knew at first, not a face she'd seen Or whispered through her ready lips, "I'll be the best I've been" [Chorus] I'm a plough and you were a furrow I'm a fox and you were a burrow I'm a weed and you were the road You were a man (You were a man) I'm alone [Bridge] And I scorch his fingers in her face Grubby mitts, saving grace Coughed a liver, winked to die Why don't you lie? [Verse 4] Several gloves and half-cocked eyes bring nature to their deviled lives Winsome misses wanting lads aging in their passing fads Leave a trail of dusted boots and choose a toe cap then Or kiss me here or kick me there and lovers might be friends [Chorus] I'm a plough and you were a furrow I'm a fox and you were a burrow I'm a weed and you were the road You were a man (You were a man) I'm alone
