Here lies Sally Grey
She came to town one day
Wasn't long 'till she went astray
Now she leaves this town today
For a better place we pray,
Sally Grey.

Here lies Sally Grey
She came to town one day
Wasn't long 'till she went astray
Now she leaves this town today
For a better place we pray,
Sally Grey.

Sally Grey:
If they only knew the way I used to think about
Being something more than used up by men
I might have been
something more than what I am to them
As they lay me down

I say many women are not what they seem to be
They are something more than part of some scheme
Some strong man's dream
Something more than what she is to him
As he lays her down.
