Part 3: The Ballad of Sally Moore (The folksinger)

lyrics

Hey well, Sally was a loner
She worked down at the general store

That night she walked home by the river side
And we ain’t seen nor have we heard from her no more

But they dragged the river
All that night
But no body ever was found
And every night that good folks lay down to sleep
I’ll be awake
Thinking about Sally

Oh and Sally had a husband
But he did not treat her kind
And when she said she lost her baby
Oh my lord 
I could see the reason in her eyes

That look of fear and hate a girl just can’t hide

But they dragged the river
All that night
But no body ever was found
And every night when good folks lay down to sleep
I’ll be awake
Thinking about Sally

Hey well Sally was a loner
She worked down at the general store
I fear she’s gone on home to Jesus

Oh my friends 
I hope I get to see her face once more
Tell me what's wrong with wanting Moore?

But they dragged the river
All that night
But no body ever was found
And every night when good folks lay down to sleep
I’ll be awake
Thinking about Sally
