OH, SALLY Sung by: W.P. Detherow Recorded in Batesville, AR, 7/15/52 Click here to listen to the original recording You know I've been good. I carry your water And I pack in your wood. (Sung somewhat like a yodel, called a yell) Hoo-a hoo-a Hoo-a hoo-a Hoo-a hoo-a Hoo-a hoo. Hoo-a hoo-a Hoo-a hoo-a Hoo-a hoo-a Hoo-a hoo. (Mr. Detherow: "I'm a little hoarse.") Away over in the valley, Where the wind, it does blow, I'll take my true lover, Providing she go. (Yell) Oh, Sally, oh, Sally, You know I've been good, I carry your water And I pack in your wood. (Yell) (This final yell continues longer until Detherow begins to laugh.) |
