Now every day ya get a little bit older Hey sweet Sally Every day get a little bit bolder Oh sweet Sally. Every night when I go to sleep Hey Sweet Sally The greenest blue eyes and lips so sweet Oh Sweet Sally Oh Sweet Sally, prettiest girl in town Oh, Sweet Sally, I love Sweet Sally Brown. I help carry her book to school Hey Sweet Sally I ain't too big but I ain't no fool Oh Sweet Sally I ain't big enough to go to school Like Sally and brother So give her a kiss at the school house door Then go back home to Mother Mom says I can't ask her to wed That would be too mean For you see I'm only five years old And Sally's seventeen. But age don't matter when love is true The way that I love Sally So I'll eat my food and grow up real big And I'll be big like Sally.
