Sally Maclennane Songtext

onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
Well Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
He played it from the night time to the peaceful early morn
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
He soothed the souls of psychos and the men who had the horn
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
And they all looked very happy in the morning
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!

onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
Now Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
When he'd had too many Powers
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
So sad to see the grieving of the people that he's leaving
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
And he took the road for God knows in the morning
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!

onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
We walked him to the station in the rain
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
We kissed him as we put him on the train
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
And we sang him a song of times long gone
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
[Far away] sad to say I must be on my way
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away [far away]
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!

onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
The years passed by the times had changed I grew to be a man
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally MacLennane
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
I took the jeers and drank the beers and crawled back home at dawn
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
And ended up a barman in the morning
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!

onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
I heard them say that Jimmy's making money far away
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
And some people left for heaven without warning
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!

onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
We walked him to the station in the rain
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
We kissed him as we put him on the train
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
And we sang him a song of times long gone
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
[Far away] sad to say I must be on my way
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away [far away]
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!

onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
When Jimmy came back home he was surprised that they were gone
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
He asked me all the details of the train that they went on
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
Some people they are scared to croak but Jimmy drank until he choked
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
And he took the road for heaven in the morning
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!

onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
We walked him to the station in the rain
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
We kissed him as we put him on the train
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
And we sang him a song of times long gone
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
[Far away] sad to say I must be on my way
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away [far away]
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
onmbcgokbhpdmmh!

onmbcgokbhpdmmh!

onmbcgokbhpdmmh!

onmbcgokbhpdmmh!

onmbcgokbhpdmmh!
