Restless foot and a roving mind

I'm gonna leave this town behind

Leave my honey so sweet and kind

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

And 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

And 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

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

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

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

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

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

And I told her not to grieve after me
