Sally Ann
Rufus Wainwright
SALLY ANN - Rufus Wainwright From the album "Rufus Wainwright" (1998) [Verse 1] My true love did breathe by the Sally Ann so softly That while walkin’ through town only my heart did hear him In views of the city [Verse 2] There ain’t many folks by the Sally Ann so pretty That while walkin’ through town many a twisted feature Made a terrible beauty Beauty [Chorus] And then I knew And then I knew I’d been there before [Verse 3] One thing you must know by the Sally Ann directly Is that the pockets don’t hold any more sunken treasures After baptism by whiskey [Verse 4] But when leavin’ the bar by the Sally Ann just barely That old angel may allow light from above the mountain And red brick walls blooming You might see [Chorus] And then you’ll know And then you’ll know You’ve been there And then you’ll know And then you’ll know You’ve been there before
