Song Sally Don't You Grieve
Artist Woody Guthrie
Album My Dusty Road

Lyrics

I just got my army call
And I run down to the army hall.
Sally come a-runnin' like a cannonball
And I told her not to grieve after me.
It's-a when
I'm gone,
Sally, don't you grieve
It's-a when
I'm gone,
Sally, don't you grieve
It's-a when
I'm gone,
Sally, don't you grieve
And I told her not to grieve after me.
I'm a-gonna cross that ocean wide
Army rifle by my side
When Hitler's beat you can be my bride
But I told her not to grieve after me.
I'm a-gonna jump in a flyin' machine
A-loaded full of this-a
TNTStop old
Hitler what
I meanAnd
I told her not to grieve after me.
A souvenir
I'll send to you
Send Hirohito and
Hitler, too
That's about all one feller can do
But I told her not to grieve after me.
Sally, get a job and save your pay
Work your best for the
U.S.A.Write me a letter 'bout ever' day
And I told her not to grieve after me.
If a blackout comes to the old home town
Sally, won't you pull your curtains down
If a shade goes up and a ship goes down
I told her not to grieve after me.
