I jump in bed and covered up my head
Wish I was dead, 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 feel so low
Sally Jo, where did you go, Sally Jo?

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 when I was good to you?
Yes or no, Sally Jo
Sally Jo, where did you go, Sally Jo?

The torch I carried shines and light so bright
For me to see, Sally Jo
Sally Jo, where did you go, Sally Jo?

Sally Jo, Sally Jo
Hear my plea, come back to me
Sally Jo, Sally Jo.
Daddy Came runnin' 'cross the railroad tracks
Said boy, you won't believe your ears
There's pickin' on the front porch at Johnny Stacks
He ain't played like that in years
Ain't played nothin' like that in years

His heart is poundin' like that ole guitar
Lord, just listen to it ring
All he ever played was the blues before
But love can do wonderful things
Hey, Johnny's got some brand new stings

They say she's a waitress down in Carbondale
He met her at the county fair
She's a good Baptist girl with amber eyes
And long, long chestnut hair
Lord, have mercy, way down to here

His heart is poundin' like that ole guitar
Lord, just listen to it ring
All he ever played was the blues before
But love can do wonderful things
Hey, Johnny's got some brand new stings

His heart is poundin' like that ole guitar
Lord, just listen to it ring
All he ever played was the blues before
But love can do wonderful things
His heart is poundin' like that ole guitar
Lord, just listen to it ring
All he ever played was the blues before
But love can do wonderful things
Hey, Johnny's got some brand new stings
Johnny's got some brand new stings
Johnny's got some brand new stings...
