Sally
In Our Alley
Words and Music: Henry Carey (1726)
Ah romance! Well you see, this
young fellow likes
this girl named Sally, even skips
out on church to see her on Sunday,
endures the laughter of the townspeople,
beatings from his boss,
you name it. Often spoofed throughout
the centuries, this song
still has a certain amount of
undeniable charm to it. It was re-popularized
in the early years of the 20th
century when several shows were created around its theme.
