Song information

Artist: Marianne Faithfull

Lyrics

Sally, free and easy
That should be her name
Sally, free and easy
That should be her name
Took a sailor's lovin'
For a nursery game

Well, the heart she gave me
Wasn't made of stone
No, the heart she gave me
Wasn't made of stone
It was sweet and hollow
Like a honeycomb

Think I'll wait till sunset
See the ensign down
Think I'll wait till sunset
See the ensign down
Then I'll take the tideway
To my burial ground

Sally, free and easy
That should be her name
Sally, free and easy
That should be her name
When my body's landed
Hope she dies of shame
