Buckley, Tim - Sally, Go 'Round The Roses Lyrics






Sally, go 'round the roses
Sally, go 'round the roses
Sally, go 'round the roses
Sally, go 'round the roses
Oh, Sally don't you go down
Oh, darlin', don't you go down

Honey, the saddest thing in the whole wide world
Is to find your woman been with another girl
Sally, don't you do down
Aw, darlin', don't you go down

I'm going downtown
Lord, I'm drinkin' tonight
I'm goin' downtown
Gonna drink myself blind
Goin' downtown
Gonna be dancin' tonight
Goin' downtown
Gonna kick 'em up high[?]

It's been a long time
Since I've had my way
It's been a long time
Since I've had my way at all
I want to do that drunken[?] belly rub
I want to sing that jukebox melody
I want to stroll
Like we used to stroll
Way back home in Baltimore

Sally, go 'round the roses
Sally, go 'round the roses
Sally, go 'round the roses
Sally, go 'round the roses
Sally, don't you go down
Oh, darlin' don't you go down
The saddest thing in this whole wide world
Is to find your baby been with another girl

Sally, don't you go down
Oh, mama, don't you go down town

I'm singin', Sally, go round the roses...

Buckley, Tim Sally, Go 'Round The Roses Comments

    BUCKING FRILLIANT!!!!!:)HI BUDDY HELM!!!:)

  2. T.... B....

    I first became aware of Tim Buckley while I was in Vietnam. I heard more of him while I was a street musician. Then I went through another phase where I started chasing down music he did. I bought many CDs of his. I don't know if you can get them as mp3s now.

  3. R.... B....

    We recorded this at the Starwood in L.A. mid seventies. I'm on the drumset. Thanks for posting this. I had no idea there was video.

    R.... B....

    Amazing !
    Here in Brazil Tim is a cult hero.

    R.... B....

    @Eduardo Mota You Brazilians got it going on compared to us Germans, culturally speaking..

  4. D.... L....

    que de beau souvenir

  5. p.... w....

    incredible voice and not afraid to sing about deeper passions ,especially his later albums,greetings from la for instance or lorca, sefronia another amazing song and so so passion filled ,love it.try danny o'keefe another voice from the heart

  6. J.... R....

    I saw Tim perform at a club called The Trauma in Philadelphia at least 3 times. He was a favorite of mine and my bandmates when we were in high school during '66-'67. An amazing voice, a Guild 12-string almost as big as he was, and solid accompaniment from Lee Underwood and Carter 'C.C.' Collins, he always had a great show. The Trauma eventually closed; the Electric Factory opened. Being a larger venue, bigger acts were brought in (Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Paul Butterfield, etc.). Life intervened. I never saw him after that, and then he died. A huge talent cut down in his prime. Play 'Song to the Siren" for your gf, but be warned - she may get wet.

    J.... R....

    Growing up outside Philadelphia, I well recall the Electric Factory (best show: Vanilla Fudge; weirdest show: Mandrake Memorial). Also the Main Point in Bryn Mawr.

  7. M.... L....

    Lost my virginity a dozen times to this, Get on top of me..... With Safronia on all the turntable on repeat all night, trippin on Haze She could never walk properly the next day.
