Salli's Song

Salli went down

She went down

Gonna meet the devil

Dance south

Oh

How can it be?

Me and my girl we had a part

Didn't see her today but gonna see her tomorrow

Ohh

How can it be?

Well run and tell your mom

Run and tell your pa

That things aren't right the way they are

It's such a cruel and evil world

To put an end to a golden girl

Well oh Lord

How can it be?

Salli went down

She went down

Gonna meet he maker

Dance south

Ohh

How can it be?

It's enough to make the devil cry

Throw the night out of the sky

You called the wolves but the wolves don't come

Now how are we gonna live with the deeds we've done?

Oh my Lord

How can it be?

The Earth stood still

The Earth stood still

Stood and stared and didn't do anything

The earth stood still

The earth stood still

Stood and stared it couldn't do anything

Nothing makes sense now

Nothing makes sense now

Every-thing's upside down

Nothing makes sense now

Nothing makes sense now

Every-thing's been turned around

Oh God

Are you listening to me now?

I can just never forgive you

For this deed you let go down

Salli went down

She went down

Gonna meet the devil

Dance south

Oh

How can it be?

So run and tell your ma

Run and tell your pa

That things aren't right the way they are

And don't you laugh and don; t you cry

And you'll be an angel

By and by

By and by

How can it be?

Salli went down

She went down
