[Verse]
AmSally's in the kitchen garden, Gtucking up her Dskirt
GPulling up the G7radishes, Cshaking off the Ddirt
EmWearing silken B7petticoats and Chigh-heeled Bmshoes
There's a Amman at her window, but I don't know DwhoseG  
[Verse]
She Amdanced in the sunlight, she Gdanced by the Dmoon
GSung every G7song, Cwhistled every Dtune
She's Embeen our lover B7and a friend, Cbest we ever Bmhad
But our Amfine-headed lady's looking sorry-eyed and DsadG  
[Verse]
AmSpring is over, Sally, and the Gsummer's going Dby
There's Gsmoke in the G7air and there's Cgeese in the Dsky, oh
And Emnone of us get B7younger, Sally, Csome of us get Bmold
And the Amrest of us get lonely when the bed gets DcoldG  
[Verse]
AmClose your shutters, Sally, put your Glock upon the Ddoor
GNo one's coming G7down the road, Cno one anyDmore
There's Emnothing much to B7do here, Cnothing much to Bmsay
So it's Amoff and down the road you go and bye-bye the DwayG

And Emnone of us get B7younger, Sally, Csome of us get Bmold
And the Amrest of us get lonely when the bed gets DcoldG  
[Verse]
AmSally went to Marrowbone, she Gwent to eighty-Deight
GSome say she went G7crooked, Csome say she went Dstraight
EmSome say she B7married up and Cothers say she's Bmfree
But AmI want Sally back again, just looking after DmeG

Close your shutters, Sally, put your lock upon the door
