[verse 1]
Sally, Sally – come in and see
What I’ve built here for ya
I’m sorry Sally, I know Texas was mean
But now I’m here for ya
You’re gone now, from that house
It’s time now for sleep
I know you’re missin’ all of your friends
Well, maybe in dreams, maybe in dreams..
[Chorus]
I ain’t got a big song to sing
I’m fairly sure you wouldn’t care if I did
You just rest now, girl – you got the weight of the world
On your shoulders, wish I could hold ya, ooooh
It’s on ya shoulders, wish I could hold ya, ooooh
[verse 2]
Sally, Sally, won’t you tell me
What did this man do to ya?
Meathooks and blood, hammers and guts
I know that you’re weary
You can rest now in my arms
They can’t get you no more
I know you’re missin’ all of your friends
Well, maybe in dreams, maybе in dreams..
[Chorus]
I ain’t got a big song to sing
I’m fairly sure you wouldn’t care if I did
You just rеst now, girl – you got the weight of the world
On your shoulders, wish I could hold ya, ooooh
It’s on ya shoulders, wish I could hold ya, ooooh
[bridge]
It’s the dead of night, on a Texas plain
And I’m sure I heard, I saw a saw on a chain
I heard a thousand screams, and a million tears
I heard my neighbours say, don’t you come ‘round here
‘cause ‘round here, we got a graveyard full
And ‘round here, we don’t play around none
I hear a thousand screams, and a million tears
I’d say, don’t you come ‘round here…
[Chorus]
I ain’t got a big song to sing
I’m fairly sure you wouldn’t care if I did
You just rest now, girl – you got the weight of the world
On your shoulders, wish I could hold ya, ooooh
It’s on ya shoulders, wish I could hold ya, ooooh
