Life of Sally Lou

A Sally Lou walks down the street 
Always walks bare feet
She can’t afford a pair of shoes
She is always getting used

She found a new lover
That will never get below her 
She is heading to Maine 
And her lover is driving her insane
 
Sally Lou dumped her new lover 
That got below her 
She is leaving Maine 
Before she goes insane

She walks her dog 
The dog sits on a log 
She sleeps good and sleeps all night 
Wakes up every morning all right

One morning the dog was licking her face 
Slinging hair all over the sheets of lace
Later in the day she was found dead
She had died sleeping in bed
