I've got a restless foot with a roving mind
I'm gonna leave this town behind
Leave my honey so sweet and kind
I told her not to grieve after me

When I'm gone, Sally don't you grieve
When I'm gone, Sally don't you grieve
When I'm gone, Sally don't you grieve
I told her not to grieve after me

I am one of them rambling men
Trav'ling since I don't know when
Here I come and then gone again
And I told her not to grieve after me

When I'm gone, Sally don't you grieve
When I'm gone, Sally don't you grieve
When I'm gone, Sally don't you grieve
I told her not to grieve after me

Big old road goes round the bend
There's a pot of gold at the other end
Sally says that I'll never mend
And I told her not to grieve after me

Well, its when I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve
Well, its when I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve
Well, its when I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve
And I told her not to grieve after me
I've been roaming everywhere
Never been satisfied anywhere
I dream of Sally so sweet and fair
And I told her not to grieve after me

Well, its when I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve
Well, its when I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve
Well, its when I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve
And I told her not to grieve after me

Goodbye, Sally, my heart's delight
I will come back when the moon is bright
If you're gone, it will serve me right
And I told her not to grieve after me

Well, its when I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve
Well, its when I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve
Well, its when I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve
And I told her not to grieve after me

Well, its when I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve
Well, its when I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve
Well, its when I'm gone, Sally, don't you grieve
And I told her not to grieve after me
