hang on sally

in the mountain there's a fountain of love named sally

a full moon shin in' down on moonshine valley

she's a'waitin' and a'hopin' that i'll come a' calling'

callin' to her through the water

where the waterfall is falling

she loves me and she needs me

and her love is a'wastin'

and the sweetness of the drippings

from her lips need tasting

so i'm running'

wishing'

and hoping' that i'll make it

up the mountain to my fountain of love

hang on sally waiting here in the valley

i'm coming just as fast as i can

i'm pantin' and i'm puffin'

waiting till i kiss and hold your hand

through the brush and the rubble

i'm a'callin' on the double

clothes all torn by the thorns

and the needles and the briars

i'll sure be a sight

but you can heal me tonight

and bathe my wounds in the fountain of love

now old brother brewer

he's afraid of revenuer's

he's a crackpot

crack shot

now brewer don't you do 'er

it's just me mr. b'er old city slicker buddy

and i sure ain't a'hankerin' to get all hurt and bloody

if you kill me who'll thrill me

while i'm lying here a'dyin'

the tears'll fill the valley

where old sally starts to cry in'

they'll rust up and bust up the still you got a'runnin'

so take me to my valley of love

hang on sally waiting here in the valley.
