Lyrics Johnny Paycheck – Hang On Sally
Text:
In the mountain there’s a fountain of love named Sally
A full moon shin in’ down on moonshine valley
She’s a’waitin’ and a’hopin’ that I’ll come a’ calling’
Callin’ to her through the water
She loves me and she needs me
And her love is a’wastin’
And the sweetness of the drippings
From her lips need tasting
So I’m running’, wishing’, and hoping’ that I’ll make it
Up the mountain to my fountain of love
Hang on Sally waiting here in the valley
I’m coming just as fast as I can
I’m pantin’ and I’m puffin’
Waiting till I kiss and hold your hand
Through the brush and the rubble
I’m a’callin’ on the double
Clothes all torn by the thorns
And the needles and the briars
I’ll sure be a sight
But you can heal me tonight
And bathe my wounds in the fountain of love
Now old brother Brewer
He’s afraid of revenuer’s
He’s a crackpot, crack shot
Now Brewer don’t you do ‘er
It’s just me Mr. B’er old city slicker buddy
And I sure ain’t a’hankerin’ to get all hurt and bloody
If you kill me who’ll thrill me
While I’m lying here a’dyin’
Where old Sally starts to cry in’
They’ll rust up and bust up the still you got a’runnin’
So take me to my valley of love
Hang on Sally waiting here in the valley…
