Hush now little Sally

Baby, close your eyes

Sweet dreams honey

Don't you worry tonight

He's yearning for the city

Be gone for a while

He won't be back until the morning

It's gonna be one of those nights



Sleep tight little Sally

There's a sky full of stars

Shining for you, honey

One day you'll go that far

Get to thinking, maybe

The wounds and the scars

Will wear off one day

I's just a matter of time



On and on you wonder, if there's someone above

Why doesn't he hear me,

don't I pray hard enough?

On and on you wonder, if this madness will stop

Some ain't got it easy, some got it tough



Hush now little Sally

Close yyour angel eyes

A special lady

Will make the most of her life

Your skirts may be shabby

But girl with one of them smiles

You'll lead an honest man astray

And make him wanna cry



Watch out little Sally

The old man's messin' tonight

They're yelling down the alley

Better turn on that porchlight

Lost all of the money

Down by the quayside

He's gambled all your dreams away

All you've got left is you pride



On and on you wonder, if there's someone above

Why doesn't he hear me,

don't I pray hard enough?

On and on you wonder, if this madness will stop

Some ain't got it easy, some got it tough
