"Sally Brown" Performance
Added 2022-05-13 15:00:01 +0000 UTCI learned "Sally Brown" from 1980s recording of Andy Irvine, Dónal Lunny, and Christy Moore. My instrument is a 1940s Bacon "Belmont" banjo tuned fA#FA#C ~ gCGCD.
I shipped on board of a Liverpool liner
Way, hey, roll and go!
So we rolled all night and we rolled till the day
But I spent my money on old Sally Brown!
Sally Brown is a fine young lady...
She's tall and she's dark but she's not too shady...
Her mother doesn't like no tarry sailor...
Sally wouldn't wed me so I shipped across the water...
Now I am courting Sally's daughter...
I shipped on board of a Liverpool liner...
