Woody Guthrie

Sally, Sally, Sally, don't you grieve (Well-a, well now) (Repeat twice)
And I told her not to grieve after me

Well, it's when I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve (Repeat twice)
And I told her not to grieve after me

Well, I'm in love with Sally and she use to love me but she's gotten kind of busy just recently
Well, I'm feelin' so bad I can't stand it anymore I'm gonna get my hat and then I'm gonna hit the door

Well, it's when I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve (Repeat twice)
And I told her not to grive after me

Well, I'm a-going down the road with my troubles on my mind I love that woman but I wasn't born blind
She tried to make me stay but I had to tell her "No!" She should've quit a-foolin' with me long time ago

Well, it's bye, bye, baby, goodbye, goodbye (Repeat twice)
And I told her not to grieve after me

Sally said she was sorry I even think she cried When she left, it kinda hurt my pride
To think that I could never teach her what true loves mean, I guess she couldn't help it 'cause she's only thirteen

Well, it's when I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve (Repeat twice)
And I told her not to grive after me (Repeat)
