DOWN THE ROAD TO SALLY'S, by CHARLES CAPRON MARSH
First Line: Down the road to sally's
Last Line: Ends the road to sally's!
Subject(s): Courtship
First Line: Down the road to sally's
Last Line: Ends the road to sally's!
Subject(s): Courtship
DOWN the road to Sally's,
Fast and deep,
The shadows creep
O'er the hills and valleys;
Sun has set,
And no moon yet
Lights the road to Sally's.
Be it night
Or daylight bright,
Ne'er the old mare dallies;
Well she knows
The way she goes,
And the road to Sally's.
Maiden fair
With golden hair --
Sunlight with it tallies --
Waits for me,
And her I'll see
Down the road to Sally's.
Sally's eyes
Are like the skies
When the sunshine rallies;
How they'll smile
When this last mile
Ends the road to Sally's!
