Lyrics Rufus Wainwright

Rufus Wainwright

Sally Ann

My true love did breathe by the sally ann

Just barely

That while walkin' through the town only my heart

Did hear him

In views of the city

There ain't many folks by the

Sally Ann so pretty

That while walkin' through town,

Many a twisted features

Made a terrible beauty

And then I knew

And then I knew, I'd been there before

One thing you must know by the

Sally Ann directly

Is that the pockets

Don't hold any more sunken treasures

After baptism by whiskey

But when leavin' the bar by the sally Ann

Just barely

The old angel may allow light from above

The mountain

And red brick walls blooming, you may see

And then you'll know

And then you'll know, you've been there before
