Little Sally Walker Songtext
von Lead Belly

Little Sally Walker, sittin′ in the saucer
Weepin' and a-moanin′, 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

Little Jimmy Walker, sittin' in the saucer
Weepin′ and a-moanin′, 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

Ha ha, this a-way, ha ha, that a-way
Ha ha, this a-then, that a-then

I went to school, went to school, went to school, boys
I went to school when I was twelve years old
I obeyed the rules, the rules, the rules, boys
Obeyed the rules as I was told

Ha ha, this a-way, ha ha, that a-way
Ha ha, this a-then, that a-then


I went to a teacher, teacher, teacher
Went to a teacher to save my soul
The teacher was a preacher, preacher, preacher
Teacher was a preacher so I was told

Ha ha, this a-way, ha ha, that a-way
Ha ha, this a-then, that a-then

Redbird, soon in the mornin′
Redbird, soon in the mornin'
Redbird, soon in the mornin′
Redbird, soon in the mornin'
Redbird, redbird, soon in the mornin′
Redbird, redbird, soon in the mornin'

Redbird, redbird, soon in the mornin'
Redbird, redbird, soon in the mornin′
Redbird, soon in the mornin′
Redbird, soon in the mornin'
Redbird, soon in the mornin′
Redbird, soon in the mornin'


Oh, the hawk got the redbird, soon in the mornin′
Hawk got the redbird, soon in the mornin'
Hawk got the redbird, soon in the mornin′
Hawk got the redbird, soon in the mornin'
Redbird, soon in the mornin'
Redbird, soon in the mornin′
Redbird, soon in the mornin′
Redbird, soon in the mornin'
