Now I'm most depressed and sad 
where I once was blithe and glad, 
I could trip about the town 
both trim and neatly, 
I was happy night and morn 
but from all such joys I'm shorn, 
Since I fell so deep in love 
with Sally Wheatley. 

And it's oh dear me what am I gonna dae, 
Sally's stole away me heart completely, 
And I'll never get it back 
for she gans with Mr. Black, 
And they say he's goin' to marry Sally Wheatley. 

Now I never saw such a lass 
and I know she likes her glass, 
She could toss a pot of whiskey over neatly, 
when you know just when to stop, 
That was just the very way with Sally Wheatley. 

How I felt I didn't knaw 
the first time I Sally saw, 
In a threesome reel 
she hopped about so neatly, 
Well I might've had a chance 
if I'd asked her up to dance, 
But I was over shy to speak 
to Sally Wheatley. 

Now he must have made it right 
when he took her home that night, 
'Cos after work dressed up 
he goes to see her nightly, 
There's great danger in delay 
or I wouldn't be sad today, 
If I had my heart t'would break 
for Sally Wheatley
