Johnny And Sally - Doyle Lawson/Quicksilver

Johnny and Sally grew up in the mountains

On opposite sides of the valley

She thought the sun rose and set in his brown eyes

And Johnny loved no one but Sally

But for 35 years their families had quarreled

Between them no words had been spoken

But the first time that Johnny laid eyes on fair Sally

The long silence finally was broken

He said meet me tonight when the moon lights the valley

And linger with me for a while

The love in their hearts started growing like flowers

Blooming unseen in the wild

Season to season love grew in the shadows

Even no way was forbidden

They longed for the day they could walk in the sunshine

And no longer keep their love hidden

He said meet me tonight when the moon lights the valley

And we'll steal away and be wed

Althout your daddy might wish he could kill me

Without you I'd rather be dead

Now you've heard the story of Johnny and Sally

And I've got just one thing to say

If not for the courage of Johnny and Sally

I wouldn't be here today

Daddy said meet me tonight when the moon lights the valley

And linger with me for a while

The love in their hearts started growing like flowers

Blooming unseen in the wild

Blooming unseen in the wild
