I had a gal in Louisville
Fare thee well, Sally Ann
She got drunk on liver pills
Died with the bottle in her hand
Boys she died with the bottle in her hand

Fare thee well Laurie Lee
Danced around till her feet got sore
Down at the bottom of the sea
Yes down at the bottom of the sea

Fare thee well, Sarah Jane
Put my old guitar in hock
It’ll never be the same
Boys it’ll never be the same

Fare thee well, Jennie Jo

Boys I had to go

I got a gal in Memphis Town
How d’ya do, Mary Sue
Got her a rifle and she shot me down
Honey I’ll be true to you
I mean it honey I’ll be true to you

Final chorus:
Got no luck with the women
Got no luck at all
When she got ahold of me
She took me for a fall
Straight down to the parson’s hall
