Sally In Our Alley
This song is believed to have been written circa 1719. It was composed by Henry Carey.
In 1760 the tune composed by Mr. Carey was dropped, and the words were sung to the tune of an older song, The Country Lass.
Of all the girls that are so smart, ~ There’s none like pretty Sally! ~ She is the darling of my heart, ~ And lives in our alley.
There’s ne’er a lady in the land ~ that’s half so sweet as Sally. ~ She is the darling of my heart, ~ And lives in our alley.
