SALLY'S FINALLY FOUND A BOYFRIEND
(Guy Thomas) 1977
Sally is a sweet magnolia
She grew up down Alabama way
All the boy's want to get to know her
But she won't give them the time of day
Because every southern night when the sun goes down
She's the only girl who isn't in town
Hiding in the slave shack is where she can be found
Sally you ought to be courtin' some handsome man
Lord knows you've got your pick girl
I just don't understand
Her Daddy's the mayor of Birmingham
And he's in for a shock when he gets home again
Cause Sally's finally found a boyfriend at last
She says that heaven knows this one's gonna last
Sally
Well the next day she left with her black man
And they set sail for some foreign land
They couldn't really deal with all the bad flak
They got a new life and they're never goin' back
Because Sally's finally found a boyfriend at last
She found a man to mow her lawn and take out her trash
Sally is a sweet magnolia
She grew up in the Alabama way
All the boys want to get to know her
But she won't give them the time of day
Cause Sally's finally found a boyfriend at last
She says that heaven knows this one's gonna last
Sally
