Sally Goodwin lyrics

Had a piece of pie an' I had a piece of puddin'
An' I gave it all away just to see my Sally Goodin Had a piece of pie an' I had a piece of puddin' An' I gave it all away just to see my Sally Goodin Well, I looked down the road an' I see my Sally comin' An' I thought to my soul that I' d kill myself a-runnin' Well, I looked down the road an' I see my Sally comin' An' I thought to my soul that I'd kill myself a-runnin' Love a 'tater pie an' I love an apple puddin' An' I love a little gal that they call Sally Goodin Love a 'tater pie an' I love an apple puddin' An' I love a little gal that they call Sally Goodin An' I dropped the 'tater pie an' I left the apple puddin' But I went across the mountain to see my Sally Goodin An' I dropped the 'tater pie an' I left the apple puddin' But I went across the mountain to see my Sally Goodin Sally is my dooxy an' Sally is my daisy When Sally says she hates me I think I'm goin' crazy Sally is my dooxy an' Sally is my daisy When Sally says she hates me I think I'm goin' crazy Little dog'll bark an' the big dog'll bite you Little gal'll court you an' big gal'll fight you Little dog'll bark an' the big dog'll bite you Little gal'll court you an' big gal'll fight you
