Tim Buckley

Timothy Charles Buckley III (February 14, 1947 – June 29, 1975) was an American singer and musician. His music and style changed considerably through the years; his first album (1966) was mostly folk oriented, but over time his music incorporated jazz, psychedelia, funk, soul, avant-garde and an evolving "voice as instrument," sound. He died aged 28, leaving behind wife Judy and son Taylor, and son Jeff Buckley from his marriage to Mary Guibert. more »

Sally go round the roses
Sally go round the roses
Sally go round the roses
Sally go round the roses

Oh, Sally don't you go down
Oh, Sally don't you go down

The saddest thing in this whole wide world
Is to find your baby been laying with another girl
Sally, don't you do down, honey
Aw, Sally don't you go down town

Well, I'm going down town, Lord, I'm drinkin' tonight
I'm goin' down town, gonna be dancin' tonight
I'm goin down town, gonna drink myself blind
I'm goin' down town, I gotta keep that mood high

It's been a long time since I've had my way
It's been a long time since I've had my way at all

I want to do that drunken belly rub
I want to sing that jukebox melody
Now sally, don't you go down
I want to stroll like we used to stroll
Way back home in Baltimore

Singing, Sally go round the roses
Sally go round the roses
Sally go round the roses
Sally go round the roses

Sally, don't you go down
Oh, baby don't you go down town

The saddest thing in this whole wide world
To find your baby been laying with another girl
Sally, don't you go down
Oh, darlin', don't you go down town

I'm singin', Sally go round the roses
I'm singin', Sally go round the roses
I'm singin', Sally go round the roses
I'm singin', Sally go round the roses

I'm singin', Sally go it around
Sally go it around
Sally go it around
Sally go it around
The roses, roses
Sally going round the roses
