Hush now little Sally
Baby
close your eyes
sweet dreams honey
hey don't you worry tonight
He's yearning for the city be gonna for a while
He won't be back until the morning
it's gonna be one of those nights.
Sleep tight little Sally
hey there's a sky full of stars
shining for you
honey
hey one day you'll go that far
Get to thinking
maybe the wounds and the scars
will wear off one day. It's just a matter of time.
On and on you wonder
if there's someone above
why doesn't he hear me
don't I pray hard enough?
On and on you wonder
if this madness will stop
some ain't got it easy some got it rough.
Brass
Hush now little Sally
hey close your angel eyes.
A special lady hey will make the most of her life.
Your skirts may be shabby hey
but girl with one of them smiles
you'll lead an honest man astray
and make him wanny cry.
Watch out little Sally
hey the old man's messin' tonight.
They're yelling down the alley
hey better turn on that porchlight.
Lost all of the money hey down by the quayside
he's gambled all your dreams away
all you've got left is your pride.
On and on you wonder
if there's someone above
why doesn't he hear me
don't I pray hard enough?
On and on you wonder
if this madness will stop
some ain't got it easy some got it rough
