So long Sally,
you'll be a beautiful bride
So long Sally,
though I won't be there at your side
I can't deny, I wish that I
were in his shoes,
but someone's gotta win and someone's gotta lose,
in dreams I'll still caress you,
goodbye, good luck an' bless you,
guess I'll be runnin' along
So long Sally,
So long
< instrumental verse >
I can't deny, I wish that I
were in his shoes,
but someone's gotta win and someone's gotta lose,
in dreams I'll still caress you,
goodbye, good luck an' bless you,
guess I'll be runnin' along
So long Sally,
So long
