[Verse 1]
Somewhere to the south of New York City
Lies the friendly state of Tennessee
Down in Nashville town I met a pretty
Who made a pretty big fool out of me

[Chorus]
And they call her Sally, Sally G
Why d'you wanna do the things you do to me?
You're my Sally, Sally G
Took the part that was the heart of me, Sally G

[Verse 2]
The night life took me down to Printers Alley
Where Sally sang a song behind a bar
I ran my eyes across her as she sang a tangled mime
I used to love to hear her sweet guitar

[Chorus]
And they call her Sally, Sally G
Why d'you wanna do the things you do to me?
You're my Sally, Sally G
Took the part that was the heart of me, Sally G

[Bridge]
Me and Sally took up
Things began to look up
Me and her were going strong
Then she started lying
I could see our love was dying
I heard a voice say
"Move along, move along"

[Verse 3]
Well, now. I'm on my own again
I wonder if she ever really understood
I never thought to ask her what the letter "G" stood for
But I know for sure it wasn't good

[Chorus]
And they call her Sally, Sally G
Why d'you wanna do the things you do to me?
You're my Sally, Sally G
Took the part that was the heart of me, Sally G
Take it, chaps

[Outro]
Sally G

Paul McCartney & Wings

Paul McCartney and Wings, also known simply as Wings, were an Anglo-American rock band formed in 1971 by former Beatle Paul McCartney with his wife Linda McCartney on keyboards, session drummer Denny Seiwell, and former Moody Blues guitarist Denny Laine. Wings were noted for frequent personnel changes as well as commercial success, going through three lead guitarists and four drummers. However, the core trio of the McCartneys and Laine remained intact throughout the group’s existence until 1981.
