Lyrics

[Verse 1]
With love in his heart and flowers in his hand
Johnny proposed to Sally Anne
Sally shivered as she said
"I'll love you till the day I'm dead"
[Verse 2]
Johnny got married in his one good suit
But the ride from church, it bore strange fruit
Down by road, you can hear her cry
As he hung from a tree, she watched him die
[Chorus]
Who's gonna dance with Sally Anne?
Who's gonna touch her tremblin' hand?
When the fiddler takes the stand
Who's gonna dance with Sally Anne?
[Verse 3]
Sally attends every wedding 'round here
Lookin' for her Johnny dear
You can feel them in the room
If the fiddler plays that tune
[Chorus]
Who's gonna dance with Sally Anne?
Who's gonna touch her tremblin' hand?
When the fiddler takes the stand
Who's gonna dance with Sally Anne?
[Bridge]
Sail away, ladies, sail away
Sail away, ladies, sail away
Sail away, ladies, sail away
Sail away, ladies, sail away
[Verse 4]
Darkened shadows cross the floor
As ghostly lovers dance once more
When wedding bells ring in that town
A ghostly virgin strolls the ground
[Chorus]
Who's gonna dance with Sally Anne?
Who's gonna touch her tremblin' hand?
When the fiddler takes the stand
Who's gonna dance with Sally Anne?
[Chorus]
Who's gonna dance with Sally Anne?
Who's gonna touch her tremblin' hand?
When the fiddler takes the stand
Who's gonna dance with Sally Anne?
