Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 8

SALLY MACKENALLY.

Attention, please, while I relate to you
Of how 1 met my love;
Twas in a lane I was walking through,
The moon shone bright above.
A lovely maiden, all alone,
Was walking leisurely.
When I made bold to ask this little one
If she would walk with me-
Sally Mackenally,
That is my charmer's name-
And she lives up in our alley,
With her sister, Susau Jane.

Chorus.
Yes, 'deed I do, I love Miss Sally-{Sym.)
Umph! lots of fun in our alley-(Sym.)
Oh, yes! she is a pretty little girl,
As ever you did see;
Her eyes are bright, her teeth are like the pearl
That is found down in the sea.-Dance.
*

I took my darling to a fancy ball,
And danced all night and day;
And Sal she was the gayest of them all.
And I was just as gay.
The music played-then I cut loose-
The darkies all did bawl;
They laughed and shouted, give that nigger room,
And they near broke down the hall.

Chorus.
Yes, she is a pretty little girl,
As ever you did see;
Her eyes are bright, her teeth are like the pearl
That is found down in the sea.
I just saw Sal. Oh, my!
She's my gal. Is that so?
She loves me. You bet!
Yes, indeedy, honey, and we're gwine to meet to-night.

Duet.
Down upon the flowery meadow,
When the moon shines bright-
Rambling in the twilight shadows
With my love to-night.-Repeat.

Sal loves me. Oh. my!
She's all mine. Give us room!
She's my pie. Oh, I'll die!
Yes, indeedy, honey, and we're gwine to meet to-night.
