(Harlan Howard)



Sally used to carry my books to school

Sally was a good ole girl

She helped me with my homework for I was a fool

Sally was a good ole girl

And if I wanted a kiss or a little bitty squeeze

She was always willing to do her best to please

Girls were made to love and not made to tease

Sally was a good ole girl.



Sally was a good ole girl

Sally was a good ole girl

No matter what the request she gave it her best

Sally was a good ole girl.



Now her folks were poor but she helped all she could

Sally was a good ole girl

She was the hardest working girl in the whole neighborhood

Sally was a good ole girl.



As she walked up and down the streets all day

Sellin' neck ties to the one's who'd pay

But if you couldn't pay for them then she would give 'em away

Sally was a good ole girl.



Sally was a good ole girl

Sally was a good ole girl

No matter what the request she gave it her best

Sally was a good ole girl.

Sally was a favorite with all of the men

Sally was a good ole girl

And all the other girls despised her then

But Sally was a good ole girl.



All the women worried bout her but Sally didn't care

She kept on a workin' and a doin' her share

She wound up married to a millionare

Sally was a good ole girl.



Well, Sally was a good ole girl

Sally was a good ole girl

No matter what the request she gave it her best

Sally was a good ole girl.



Well, Sally was a good ole girl

Sally was a good ole girl

No matter what the request she gave it her best

Sally was a good ole girl...
