Sally was the apple of Johnny's eye
|
Johnny had ramblin' on his mind
|
She'd called his house late one night
|
Almost died when she got the reply
|
|
He's gone, he ran
|
Gonna join a travelin' band
|
Gonna sing for sold-out shows
|
He's gone, ain't comin' home
|
|
Now Sally had to walk to school all alone
|
Go to work, come straight home
|
Spend all day trying not to weep
|
Every night she cries herself to sleep
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
|
Well it was out in St. Louis
|
Johnny hit GOLD
|
Record man said "Your song is sold"
|
All over the country they did roam
|
But he thought about a love that he'd left at home
|
|
He sent a proposal in a sealed envelope
|
Said they'd run away and elope
|
He went to the mailbox with a gleam in his eye
|
Almost died when he got the reply
|
|
She's gone, she ran
|
Gonna join a travelin' band
|
Gonna sing for sold-out shows
|
She's gone, ain't comin' home
|
