Sally Don't You Grieve Lyrics

Lonnie Donegan Sally Don't You Grieve

Chorus: When I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve, When I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve, When I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve, And I told her not to grieve after me.

Restless foot and a roving mind, I'm gonna leave this town behind, Leave my honey so sweet and kind, And I told her not to grieve after me.

(Chorus)

I am one of them rambling men, Trav'ling since I don't know when, Here I come and then gone again, And I told her not to grieve after me.

(Chorus)

Big old road goes round the bend, There's a pot of gold at the other end, Sally says that I'll never mend, And I told her not to grieve after me.

(Chorus)

I've been roaming everywhere Never been satisfied anywhere; I dream of Sally so sweet and fair, And I told her not to grieve after me.

(Chorus)

Goodbye, Sally, my heart's delight, I will come back when the moon is bright, If you're gone, it will serve me right, And I told her not to grieve after me.

(Chorus)
