Sally snuck in
|
The back of the church
|
Her skirts showing off her legs
|
High-heeled shoes
|
Lipstick smeared
|
No money in her pocket she was too proud to beg
|
Raw hands gloved
|
Said she was dirty
|
Sally was hurt with every word they said
|
a€œHallo queen of Englanda€?
|
Sally was so weak
|
Of a€œOh she does her best work in beda€?
|
Best work in bed
|
Hey
|
Hey hey
|
Wait a minute now
|
Reverend James thought
|
He'd stress on the Bible
|
As he screamed at everyone
|
I could see the tease
|
On rock and roll music
|
Lord help them will they see the sun
|
Huh? See the sun
|
But if the reverend could have sawn
|
Sally's soul in his heart
|
He'd see the lesson he'd got to learn
|
Learn the new law of salvation
|
And help this generation
|
Find the worth that's worth the earning
|
Worth the earning
|
|
Some people love to spend time for Jesus
|
But got no time for the sinners that be
|
And even though He shed His blood
|
To spread the word love
|
That makes each and everyone of us free
|
Free to sing in the choir
|
Free to stand up tall
|
But still some people aint got no time for sinners at all
|
|
Hey
|
Hey Hey
|
Take it away
|
Oh
|
|
[Tag]
|
They say that Sally don't belong to folks that are decent
|
No, no don't recall at all
|
So Sally lit a candle for all the sweet tears of Mary
|
And took a seat by the wall
|
|
Say don't make time for Jesus
|
Unless you got time (For the sinners that be)
|
You know He shed His blood
|
To spread the word love
|
That makes each and everyone of us free
|
To sing in the choir
|
Sing, and to stand up tall
|
But still some people aint got no time for sinners at all
|
Everybody say hey
|
Say hey
|
|
Oh
|
Stop loving so
|
We've got to accept the call
|
(To Lovin)
|
Yes we do y'all
|
Oh, love
|
Sweet love
|
Love
|
Sweet love
|
Never stop
|
