The Ballad of Sally Anne - Rhiannon Giddens

Lyrics by：Alice Randall/Harry Stinson/Mark O'Connor

Produced by：Ebonie Smith

With love in his heart and flowers in his hand

Johnny proposed to Sally Ann

Sally shivered as she said

I'll love you 'til the day I'm dead

Johnny got married in his one good suit

But the ride from church it bore strange fruit

Down by the road you can hear her cry

As he hung from a tree she watched him die

Who's gonna dance with Sally Ann

Who's gonna touch her tremblin' hand

When the fiddler takes the stand

Who's gonna dance with Sally Ann

Sally attends every wedding 'round here

Looking for her Johnny dear

You can feel them in the room

If the fiddler plays that tune

Who's gonna dance with Sally Ann

Who's gonna touch her tremblin' hand

When the fiddler takes the stand

Who's gonna dance with Sally Ann

Sail away ladies sail away

Sail away ladies sail away

Sail away ladies sail away

Sail away ladies sail away

Darkened shadows 'cross the floor

As ghostly lovers dance once more

When wedding bells ring in that town

A ghostly virgin strolls the ground

Who's gonna dance with Sally Ann

Who's gonna touch her trembling hand

When the fiddler takes the stand

Who's gonna dance with Sally Ann

Who's gonna dance with Sally Ann

Who's gonna touch her tremblin' hand

When the fiddler takes the stand

Who's gonna dance with Sally Ann
