Lyrics The Ballad Of Sally Anne - Mark O'Connor

With love in his heart and flowers in his hand
Johnny proposed to Sally Ann
Sally shivered as she said, "I′ll love you 'til the day I′m dead"
Johnny got married in his one good suit
But the ride from church bore strange fruit
Down by road you can hear her cry
As he hung from a tree, she watched him die
Who's gonna dance with Sally Ann Who's gonna touch her tremblin′ hand
When the fiddler takes the stand Who′s gonna dance with Sally Ann
Sally attends every wedding 'round here Lookin′ for her Johnny dear
You can feel them in the room If the fiddler plays that tune
Who's gonna dance with Sally Ann Who′s gonna touch her tremblin' hand
When the fiddler takes the stand Who′s gonna dance with Sally Ann
Sail away ladies, Sail away!
Sail away ladies, Sail away!
Darkened shadows cross the floor As ghostly lovers dance once more
When weddin' bells ring in that town
A ghostly virgin strolls the ground
Who's gonna dance with Sally Ann Who′s gonna touch her tremblin′ hand
When the fiddler takes the stand Who's gonna dance with Sally Ann
Who′s gonna dance with Sally Ann Who's gonna touch her tremblin′ hand
When the fiddler takes the stand Who's gonna dance with Sally Ann
