"Sally Was a Good Ole Girl" Lyrics

(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.

--- Instrumental ---

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.

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 good ole girl,
Sally was a good ole girl...
