Lyrics
1. Sally, dear, it’s been a year
Since I left Arkansaw
Lordy knows I miss “ya”
How I long to kiss “ya”
But at last the time has passed
And now I’m comin’ home
So note for note this song I wrote
To sing for you alone
Chorus:
Pretty little blue-eyed Sally
Better times are comin’, wait and see
Every hilly Billy in the valley
Will hear those church bells ringin’
That country choir singin’
We’ll be happy blue-eyed Sally
In a rustic shack for two
Down on that Ozark trail there’ll be big doin’s
When “we-uns” meet with “you-un”
Blue-eyed Sally I love you
2. Blue-eyed honey, I’ve saved money
For a rainy day
So in any weather
We can be together
Now’s the time, make up your mind
To wear a weddin’ ring
And maybe we can start to raise
A garden in the Spring
