Mustang Sally Lyrics

Artist: Wilson Pickett
Album: Mustang Sally

Mustang Sally, think you better slow your mustang down.
Mustang Sally, think you better slow your mustang down.
You been running all over the town now.
Oh! I guess I'll have to put your flat feet on the ground.

All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.

One of these early mornings, oh, you gonna be wiping your weeping eyes.
I bought you a brand new mustang 'bout nineteen sixty five
Now you come around signifying a woman, you don't wanna let me ride.
Mustang Sally, think you better slow your mustang down.
You been running all over the town now.
Oh! I guess I'll have to put your flat feet on the ground.

All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.

Sally is an ugly name. Simply ugly.

I thinks it's: Now you come around, a citified woman, not signifying a woman, which makes no sense at all.

one of my favorite songs, but then I was around when it was first popular and b/c of having the same name HAD A GREAT TIME at parties dancing to this song. :) ah, memories.

This is very good song!

by P Tame on 1/12/2009 10:33pm
It's: Now you come around signifyin',. "Signifying" was a verbal game in the 60's, of insults, boasting, and profanity.

This song is great. Wilson Pickett put alot of soul into it.

IT'S "SIGNIFYING WOMAN" ..MEANING TO "MAKE INSINUATIONS,WOMAN"

I have a feeling that he is complaining that his lady won't ever let him 'ride' her, but everyone else in town can. I love the song -- was young when it came out and danced to it often.

We still play this song live after so many years, and people love it!The POOBAH band

it's a tough song to sing you gotta have grits sausages and eggs in you

by Joy Storm on 12/3/2009 7:47pm
My band does this because we love it! I heard on the radio that Aretha Franklin heard Wilson Pickett sing this, and he was singing about Della Reese, calling the song Mustang Della. Aretha said it didn't sound right and she bought the car for Della, so call it Sally. This was Alice Cooper talking on his show, and he loves trivia like that, so I'm believin' it.

I Love this song. Iwould like to have a copy of it. I havent found it, but i am still looking for it.

Sometime I spent my time in a cafe around Seminyak-Bali for have fun and enjoyed with the band and sing this song. All the guess stand up and sing together. I love this song.

by Ralph Hood on 8/3/2010 5:19pm
I say that it was a guy singing about his girlfriend. One singer said he thought Sally's father bought the Mustang, which puts in a totally different light. Which of us is right?

by Tom T on 8/10/2010 10:27pm
You are.

by Tommie on 10/14/2010 5:09pm
Yes it is signafying, not citified. Signifying is a way of telling a person how you feel about things, them or a circumstance.

by Mess on 12/14/2010 11:34am
Good n lively song.still sing this song n still happening too.but i too confuse bout the lyric.anyway.enjoy da song

by AndyM on 5/13/2011 5:14am
Joy Storm is nearly right - Aretha actually suggested the name Sally to the original writer and singer of the song, Mack Rice. His song was released as Mustang Sally, and that's what Wilson Pickett covered the following year.

by Judy on 10/19/2011 2:28pm
I think this song is referring to Sally Burgess, madam of the Mustang Ranch brothel outside of Reno, NV.

It's not citified or Signified...it's "sanctified woman"

by Andy B. on 6/13/2012 9:57am
"Signifying" is an old Negro expression meaning full of tricks, games or lies. Look up "The Signifying Monkey".

by Wilson Pickett on 4/4/2019 7:13am
Lyric correction: "Now you come around signifyin' woman, you don't wanna let me ride". -remove the 'A' in the sentence.
