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)
