Everyone in town knew all about her
Neighbours used pass her with a frown
They would point her out and tell you things about
The wildest gal in town

Because she was the life of every party
Wore the cutest hat, the smartest gown
It was understood she'd never be much good
The wildest gal in town

Maybe she danced a little too much
Was that so terribly wrong
Might have romanced a little too much
Waiting for the right one to come along

See that mother with those lovely children
There she is, that's little Sally Brown
And when you hear her name
Just tell them what became of the wildest gal in town

Maybe she danced a little too much
Was that so terribly wrong
Might have romanced a little too much
Waiting for the right one to come along

See that mother with those lovely children
There she is, that's little Sally Brown
And when you hear her name
Just tell them what became of the wildest gal in town
