The Makem & Spain Brothers: The Tradition Continues
Back to song list
SALLY O
I wish I had my Sally o
Sally o, Sally o
I wish I had my Sally o
Where the wild birds sing on the mountain
Chorus:
Let the winds blow high, let the winds blow low
I'd feel no cold from the frost or snow
If I only had my Sally o
Where the wild birds sing on the mountain
Oh, I would gather flowers so sweet
Flowers so sweet, flowers so sweet
And pile them 'round my Sally's feet
Where the wild birds sing on the mountain
Chorus
Oh, I'd bring salmon from the stream
From the stream, form the stream
And berries fit for any queen
Where the wild birds sing on the mountain
Chorus
Oh, we'd have music all the day
All the day, all the day
And peace that drives all care away
Where the wild birds sing on the mountain
Chorus
