Sally Was a Good Ole Girl

(Harlan Howard)



Well, Sally used to carry my books to school

Sally was a good ole girl

Helped me with my homework 'cause I was a fool

Sally was a good ole girl.



If I wanted a kiss or a little squeeze

Sally was willing to do her best to please

A girl made for lovin' and not made to tease

Sally was a good ole girl.



Yeah, 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.



Her folks were poor but she helped all she could

Sally was a good ole girl

The hardest working girl in the neighborhood

Sally was a good ole girl.



She walked up and down the street all day

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

If they couldn't afford 'em she'd give them away

Sally was a good ole girl.



Yeah, 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

All the other girls despised her then

Sally was a good ole girl.



All the women talked about her but Sally didn't care

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

She wound up married to a millionaire

Sally was a good ole girl.



Yeah, 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.



Yeah, 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.
