Henry Carey - Sally In Our Alley

Henry Carey - Sally In Our Alley

OF all the girls that are so smart br There's none like pretty Sally; br She is the darling of my heart, br And she lives in our alley. br There is no lady in the land br Is half so sweet as Sally; br She is the darling of my heart, br And she lives in our alley. br br Her father he makes cabbage-nets, br And through the streets does cry 'em; br Her mother she sells laces long br To such as please to buy 'em: br But sure such folks could ne'er beget br So sweet a girl as Sally! br She is the darling of my heart, br And she lives in my alley. br br When she is by, I leave my work, br I love her so sincerely; br My master comes like any Turk, br And bangs me most severely: br But let him bang his bellyful, br I'll bear it all for Sally; br She is the darling of my heart, br And she lives in our alley. br br Of all the days that's in the week br I dearly love but one day- br And that's the day that comes betwixt br A Saturday and Monday; br For then I'm drest all in my best br To walk abroad with Sally; br She is the darling of my heart, br And she lives in our alley. br br My master carries me to church, br And often am I blamèd br Because I leave him in the lurch br As soon as text is namèd; br I leave the church in sermon-time br And slink away to Sally; br She is the darling of my heart, br And she lives in our alley.
