Sally My Dear Songtext
von Pete Seeger

Oh, Sally, my dear, I wish I could wed you
Oh, Sally, my dear, I wish I could wed you
She laughed and replied: "Why, you silly blockhead?"
Singing fall dingy-di-do, whack fall de-day

Oh, Sally, my dear, it′s you I'd be kissing
Oh, Sally, my dear, it′s you I'd be kissing
She laughed and replied, said: "You don't know what you′re missing"
Singing fall dingy di-do whack fall de-day


If the girls were all blackbirds or the girls were all thrushes
If the girls were all blackbirds or the girls were all thrushes
We′d see all of the boys go to beating the bushes
Singing fall dingy di-do whack fall de-day

If the girls were all panthers and raced 'round the mountain
If the girls were all panthers and raced ′round the mountain
How many of the men would take guns to go hunt 'em
Singing fall dingy di-do whack fall de-day

Oh, Sally, my dear, I wish I could wed you
Oh, Sally, my dear, I wish I could wed you
Oh, sir, if you did, you′d say I misled you
Singing fall dingy di-do whack fall de-day


If all of the girls were like fish in the ocean
If all of the girls were like fish in the ocean
And if I were a wave, I would raise a commotion
Singing fall dingy di-do whack fall de-day
