Sally Of The Wilds

 

Sally Of The Wilds

Written by Scott Wainwright

Down the valley

Bout the babbling brook

Send my love to Sally

Say I wish her luck

Smile and wink in her direction

And give her a sweet embrace

I've been thinking I've learn't my lesson

I'm in my place

Sally, Sally of the wilds

The wind it blows her auburn hair

Sally, no more than a child

Humble, for me she did care

I pull my collar

To ward of the wind

No star to follow

No where to begin

Tell her thanks a lot

And give her all my ''I love you's''

I'm sailing to France finding worth

In something new

Sally, Sally of the wilds

The wind it blows her auburn hair

Sally, no more than a child

Humble, for me she did care

Upon the cold docks

They're calling my name

But I'm at a loss my love

Of whom I could blame

Tell her my regrets

For she knows well all of my faults

When I write next, I hope it shows

That I loved her once

Sally, Sally of the wilds

The wind it blows her auburn hair

Sally, no more than a child

Humble, for me she did care

But it's over, its over

Because I am not there

I was never there
