Sally Free and Easy by Carolyn Hester Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sally, free and easy
That'll be her name
Took a sailor's loving
For a nursery game
[Verse 2]
While the heart she gave me
Was not made of stone
It was sweet and hollow
Like a honeycomb
[Verse 3]
Think I'll wait 'til sunset
See the ensign down
Then I'll take the tideway
To my burying ground
[Verse 4]
Sally, free and easy
That'll be her name
When my body's landed
Hope she dies of shame
Sally, free and easy
That'll be her name
Took a sailor's loving
For a nursery game
[Verse 2]
While the heart she gave me
Was not made of stone
It was sweet and hollow
Like a honeycomb
[Verse 3]
Think I'll wait 'til sunset
See the ensign down
Then I'll take the tideway
To my burying ground
[Verse 4]
Sally, free and easy
That'll be her name
When my body's landed
Hope she dies of shame
