John Lee Hooker - Documenting the Sensation Recordings 1948-1952

Sally Mae

That was one of the first songs I ever played
My father used to play that; my stepfather
A song called "Sally Mae"
But he never did do anything with it
An-an-an, and I wrote it
An-an-and it come to be a big number for me when I got famous
In the '50s

Sally Mae, Sally Mae
You's a no good weed
You know the cows, just won't mow you down

You's a no good weed, Sally Mae
You know the cows, just won't mow you down

If I was chief of police, Sally Mae
Lord, I would drive you out of this town

Sally Mae, Sally Mae
I wonder would you ever change your ways?

Sally Mae, Sally Mae
I wonder would you ever change your ways?

You stay out all night long, all night long
Baby, you know that ain't right

Mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm mm-mm-mm-mm-mmm
Mm-mm-mm-mmm
