Now, you remember Sally
Used to be so happy
Walkin' down that street
With a smile upon her face
Never had a worry
She never had a care
And when she came to see me
She would brighten up my face

Now, Sally was that kind of girl
Sure would like to know
And everywhere that Sally went
The lamb was sure to go

Somebody said they saw her
On the other side of town
Said, she was smokin' weed and drinkin'
Probably foolin' 'round
Now, that's too bad about Sally
Because she was so nice
The next time that I see that girl
I'll give her my advice

Why would she want to run away
From God and all His love
And go back in that world
And live so hard and rough
You know that I don't feel too bad
That Sally moved away
'Cause every time I'd look at her
She set my mind astray
Now Sally was that kind of girl
I wish that she was mine
Just to know that she was there
Now, even that was fine

There's just one thing
That I don't understand
And that's the part that's rough
Why would she want to run away
From God and all His love

There's just one thing
That I don't understand
And that's the part that's rough
Now, why would she want to walk away
From God and all His love
Now, why would she want to walk away
From God and all His love
