The Ballad of Sally Anne (LYRICS)
With love in his heart and flowers in his hand
Johnny proposed to Sally Anne
Sally shivered as she said,
"I'll love you till the day I'm dead"
Johnny got married in his one good suit
But the ride from church it bore strange fruit
Down by the road you can hear her cry
As he hung from a tree, she watched him die
Who's gonna dance with Sally Anne?
Who's gonna touch her tremblin' hand?
When the fiddler takes the stand,
Who's gonna dance with Sally Anne?
Sally attends every wedding 'round here
Looking for her Johnny dear
You can feel them in the room
If the fiddler plays that tune
Who's gonna dance with Sally Anne?
Who's gonna touch her tremblin' hand?
When the fiddler takes the stand,
Who's gonna dance with Sally Anne?
Sail away, ladies, Sail away!
Sail away, ladies, Sail away!
Dark young shadows cross the floor
As ghostly lovers dance once more
When weddin'g bells ring in that town
A ghostly virgin strolls the ground
Who's gonna dance with Sally Anne?
Who's gonna touch her trembling hand
When the fiddler takes the stand,
Who's gonna dance with Sally Anne?
Who's gonna dance with Sally Anne
Who's gonna touch her tremblin' hand
When the fiddler takes the stand
Who's gonna dance with Sally Anne
"I had songs recorded in the 80s, in the 90s, in the 2000s, and 2010s, but I never once had the joy of hearing one of the songs that I wrote from the perspective of a Black woman recorded by a Black woman. With this project...I hope to change that." - Alice Randall
