hush now little sally
baby, close your eyes
sweet dreams honey
don´t you worry tonight
he´s yearning for the city
be gone for a while
he won´t be back until the morning
it´s gonna be one of those nights

sleep tight little sally
there´s a sky full of stars
shining for you, honey
one day you´ll go that far
get to thinking, maybe
the wounds and the scars
will wear off one day
i´s just a matter of time

on and on you wonder, if there´s someone above
why doesn´t he hear me,
don´t i pray hard enough?
on and on you wonder, if this madness will stop
some ain´t got it easy, some got it tough

hush now little sally
close yyour angel eyes
a special lady
will make the most of her life
your skirts may be shabby
but girl with one of them smiles
you´ll lead an honest man astray
and make him wanna cry

watch out little sally
the old man´s messin´ tonight
they´re yelling down the alley
better turn on that porchlight
lost all of the money
down by the quayside
he´s gambled all your dreams away
all you´ve got left is you pride

on and on you wonder, if there´s someone above
why doesn´t he hear me,
don´t i pray hard enough?
on and on you wonder, if this madness will stop
some ain´t got it easy, some got it tough
