Lead Belly — Sally Walker

[Intro] Now here's another little children's play song They gonna play, and they gonna put one inside the ring And they all gonna be going around and they gonna sing And this one, in the ring, is sitting down in a chair They gonna give this one in the chair a hankie And when they holler, "Rise, Sally, rise, wipe your weeping eyes," she's gonna rise out of the chair And when they say "fly to the east and fly to the west, fly to the one you love the best," she's gonna fly and catch one that's going around the ring and catch him by the hand Gonna put him in the ring and he's gonna sit down in the chair what Sally got out of Now here's what they're gonna sing while they all go 'round the ring [Verse 1] Little Sally Walker, sitting in a saucer Weeping and a-moaning like a turtle dove Rise, Sally, rise, wipe your weepin' eyes Fly to the east, fly to the west Fly to the one that you love the best [Bridge] Now it's gonna be Jimmy Walker, now it's a little boy Don't care who get in that ring, it's gotta be Walker [Verse 2] Little Jimmy Walker, sitting in a saucer Weeping and a-moaning like a turtle dove Rise, Jimmy, rise, wipe your weepin' eyes Fly to the east, fly to the west Fly to the one that you love the best [Verse 3] Little Charlie Walker, sittin' in a saucer Weeping and a-moaning like a turtle dove Rise, Charlie, rise, wipe your weepin' eyes Fly to the east, fly to the west Fly to the one that you love the best [Verse 4] Little Jenny Walker, sittin' in a saucer Weeping and a-moaning like a turtle dove Rise, Jenny, rise, wipe your weepin' eyes Fly to the east, fly to the west Fly to the one that you love the best [Verse 5] Little Wally Walker, sittin' in a saucer Weeping and a-moaning like a turtle dove Rise, Wally, rise, wipe your weepin' eyes Fly to the east, fly to the west Fly to the one that you love the best [Outro] Fly to the east, fly to the west Fly to the one that you love the best
