Sally Ann lyrics

by

Rufus Wainwright


[Verse 1]
My true love did breathe
By the Sally Ann so softly
That while walkin' through town
Only my heart did hear him
In views of the city

[Verse 2]
There ain't many folks
By the Sally Ann so pretty
That while walkin' through town
Many a twisted feature
Made a terrible beauty
Beauty

[Refrain]
And then I knew
And then I knew
I'd been there before

[Verse 3]
One thing you must know
By the Sally Ann directly
Is that the pockets don't hold
Any more sunken treasures
After baptism by whiskey
[Verse 4]
But when leavin' the bar
By the Sally Ann just barely
That old angel may allow
Light from above the mountain
And red brick walls blooming
You may see

[Refrain]
And then you'll know
And then you'll know
You've been there before
And then you'll know
And then you'll know
You've been there before
