Sally's Rose Garden

Once there was a lady,
Sally was her name,
Who loved to sit all day
And watch her roses grow.

In her garden she would stay
All day and then at night,
She'd leaver her window open
And watch her roses grow.

One day while she sat
A young man came from town
To ask permission to marry
The prettiest girl around

Sally fell in love
With the man named jack
Because he said he'd sit and join her
And watch her roses grow

A few days later the were wed
And jack moved in the house
Things we not the same from then
While they weroe in the house

Sally ran around all day
Taking care of jack
Jack did nothing for her
But leave bruises on her back

Sally cleaned all through the day
And cried all through the night
For her face was a stingin'
Because of jack's might

One day sally noticed
Her roses had all died
Sally knew that much like petals
She was bruised and cracked

Finally sally decided
To take back her life
From the one who left her
Petals bruised and cracked

She went inside to find
Jack asleep within her bed
She hit him with a shovel
And buried him bruised and cracked

Sally is much older now
But in her garden she sits
For now jack must forever lay beneath
And watch her roses grow
