Bully In The Alley

Bully In The Alley - Traditional

   Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley
   Wey hey, bully in the alley
   Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley
   Bully down in Shinbone Al

Sally is a girl that I love dearly
Wey hey, bully in the alley
Sally is the girl that I spliced nearly
Bully down in Shinbone Al

   Chorus

Sally could dance and Sally could spin
Wey hey, bully in the alley
I bought her rum and I bought her gin
Bully down in Shinbone Al

   Chorus

Seven long years I courted Sally
Wey hey, bully in the alley
All she did was dilly and dally
Bully down in Shinbone Al

   Chorus

I left Sal, went to be a sailor
Wey hey, bully in the alley
I left Sal, shipped aboard a whaler
Bully down in Shinbone Al

   Chorus

I thought I heard the old man saying
Wey hey, bully in the alley
One more pull and then belaying
Bully down in Shinbone Al

   Chorus
