Robin Millar - Sally lyrics

Sally You opened out your arms To all those young men And girl you had room For every one of them You're the only girl on bowery and third Sure as hell you're the only one who cared So put your hands together for sally She saved all those young men Put your hands together for sally She's the one who cared for them She's doing our dirty work She's the only one who cares Doing our dirty work Thirsty world one angry day, in New York Take a look at Dave he was once seventeen Soot suit and shinny shoes He ran around town and through his methylated laughter Most of his memories drowned But he remembers what his mommy use to shout She used to shout One day surely son The streets are gonna tire you out So put your hands together for sally She's the one who cared for him Put your hands together for sally She was there when his luck was running thin She's doing our dirty work She's the only one who cares Doing our dirty work Thirsty world, one angry day, in New York Tommy had a wife and family But the needle came between the love and the hard times Thank God for Sally She was there through the misery Just a place to lay his head Just about better off than dead She's doing our dirty work She's the only one who cares Doing our dirty work Thirsty world, one angry dame Vince came up from the country Couldn't even find himself a room Thinking about his babies That's further away than the moon With no money but his pride in his pocket There's really no way he can go home There's a picture of his woman in his locket Most of all he doesn't want to be alone So put your hands together for Sally She's the one who cared for him Put your hands together for sally She was there when his luck was running thin She's doing our dirty work She's the only one who cares Doing our dirty work Thirsty world, one angry day, in New York
