—Bill Monroe
I jumped in bed and covered up my head
Wish I was dead with Sally Jo
Sally Jo where did you go Sally Jo
Since you have gone my days are turned to night
Nothin'goes right Sally Jo
Sally Jo where did you go Sally Jo
The hurt you left has just begun to show
Sally Jo I've been so low
Sally Jo where did you go Sally Jo
Bridge:
Sally Jo Sally Jo hear my plea
Come back to me
I'm like a little dog left out to stray
No one wants me no place to stay
Sally Jo where did you go Sally Jo
Did I do bad or was I good to you
Yes or no Sally Jo
Sally Jo where did you go Sally Jo
The torch I carried had a light so bright
For me to see Sally Jo
Sally Jo where did you go Sally Jo
Tag:
Sally Jo Sally Jo hear my plea
Come back to me
