Sally G Lyrics

Artist: Paul McCartney

Sally G
Paul McCartney

Somewhere to the south of New York City
Lies the friendly state of Tennessee
Down in Nashville town I met a pretty
Who made a pretty big fool out of me

Chorus:
And they call her Sally, Sally G
Why d'you want to do the things you do to me
You're my Sally, Sally G
Took the part that was the heart of me
Sally G

The night life took me down to Printer's Alley
Where Sally sang a song behind the bar
I ran my eyes across her as she sang a tangled mime
I used to love to hear her sweet guitar

Chorus

Me and Sally took up
Things began to look up
Me and her were going strong
Then she started lyin'
I could see our love was dyin'
I heard a voice say move along
Move along....

Well, now I'm on my own again, I wonder
If she ever really understood
I never thought to ask her what the letter G stood for
But I know for sure it wasn't good

Chorus

(Take it chaps)
Sally G.....

I knnow Macca gets slated for being too sweet after Lennon and he split but he always seems to be able to write in many styles, this one shows his ability and respect for Country and I believe that none other than Chet Atkins picked guitar on this !!!
