Sally, Dont You Grieve
I just got my army call
And I run down to the army hall.
Sally come a-runnin like a cannonball
And I told her not to grieve after me.
Its-a when Im gone, Sally, dont you grieve
Its-a when Im gone, Sally, dont you grieve
Its-a when Im gone, Sally, dont you grieve
And I told her not to grieve after me.
Im a-gonna cross that ocean wide
Army rifle by my side
When Hitlers beat you can be my bride
But I told her not to grieve after me.
Its-a when Im gone, Sally, dont you grieve
Its-a when Im gone, Sally, dont you grieve
Its-a when Im gone, Sally, dont you grieve
And I told her not to grieve after me .
Im a-gonna jump in a flyin machine
A-loaded full of this-a TNT
Stop old Hitler what I mean
And I told her not to grieve after me.
Its-a when Im gone, Sally, dont you grieve
Its-a when Im gone, Sally, dont you grieve
Its-a when Im gone, Sally, dont you grieve
And I told her not to grieve after me
A souvenir Ill send to you
Send Hirohito and Hitler, too
Thats about all one feller can do
But I told her not to grieve after me
Its-a when Im gone, Sally, dont you grieve
Its-a when Im gone, Sally, dont you grieve
Its-a when Im gone, Sally, dont you grieve
And I told her not to grieve after me
Sally, get a job and save your pay
Work your best for the U.S.A.
Write me a letter bout ever day
And I told her not to grieve after me
Oh, its-a when Im gone, Sally, dont you grieve
Its-a when Im gone, Sally, dont you grieve
Its-a when Im gone, Sally, dont you grieve
And I told her not to grieve after me
If a blackout comes to the old home town
Sally, wont you pull your curtains down
If a shade goes up and a ship goes down
I told her not to grieve after me
Its-a when Im gone, Sally, dont you grieve
Its-a when Im gone, Sally, dont you grieve
Its-a when Im gone, Sally, dont you grieve
And I told her not to grieve after me
Oh, its-a when Im gone , Sally, dont you grieve
Its-a when Im gone, Sally, dont you grieve
Its-a when Im gone, Sally, dont you grieve
And I told her not to grieve after me
