Suicide sal was an uptown girl
She made them laugh and sing
And the silken girl that you walked to town
Made their all times seem like spring

Suicide sal was everyone's pal
She wore her heart on her speech
But the musical years led only to tears
Oh, too soon she had to leave

Suicide sal,
Everyone thought she was wild
But nobody knew
What she'd been through
She had the heart of a child

Suicide sal, where are you now?
Your fame lives on and on
You're the lady of the night
When you stepped into the light
Light became a musical song

Chorus

Now the story has no end
Sal was my friend
Her spirit lives on in me
When i sing my song
I hear her sing along
We're both leaves on the family tree.
