[1st verse:]
|
Moon was slyly peeping from above
|
On a summer's night
|
Sally Brown and Joe were making love
|
'Neath the pale moonlight
|
Sally said, "I think I'd better go"
|
As she rolled her eyes
|
But foxy little Joe
|
Said, "There's a game I know
|
Called telling lies"
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Telling lies
|
Telling lies
|
Say you never want to be
|
Near to me
|
Dear to me
|
Telling lies, close your eyes
|
Then a kiss or two
|
I'll steal and give them back to you
|
While telling lies
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
Little Sally Brown and Joe were wed
|
She became his bride
|
"I will never marry you," she said
|
Then the knot was tied
|
Ev'ry morn he kisses her goodbye
|
Leaves her all alone
|
But 'fore he goes away
|
These words he'll always say,
|
"I won't come home"
|
