Listen folks: To my moan
I'm going to tell you: About sally jones

I'm a man: Play one gal
And that's: My loving sal

She stepped out: I could see
He tried: To two‑time me

So I thought: That I'd found out
What this man: All about

He was tall: He was thin
Drinks???: But *sips her* gin

Thought I'd catch her: When I walked in
Find her: Loving my brother jim

He pulled out a gun: Said she was through
I'm going: To chicago you

He started to shoot: The gun wouldn't go
I said that's all: I want to know

We got married: Had a baby lamb
But that baby: Looked like her iceman

When the rooster saw the eggs: And they was red
He walked across the road: And knocked the peacock
Dead

She's gone away: Boys and I'm glad
Making: Another poor fool sad

Six men are in jail: Faces to the wall
But that gal: Was the cause of it all
