Loading...

[chorus]
sally … what you doing here?
sally … what you doing here?

[verse]
left a jug among the reeds and corn
big jim bible with its pages torn
tourniquet tight ’round my throwing arm
jump in the briar

[refrain]
ruby lays across the bed
you’re coming home
[chorus]
sally … what you doing here?
sally … what you doing here?

[verse]
break a fire with a paper match
burn a tattoo on a guy with an eye patch
cut your name off my wooden leg
drop it in the coal

[refrain]
ruby lays across the bed
you’re coming home

[chorus]
sally … what you doing here?
sally … what you doing here?

[verse]
stroke the bottom of a sterno cup
plywood hand+out going ‘cross and up
jack your coat against a backroom wall
hand on a sleeve

[refrain]
ruby lays across the bed
you’re coming home
[solos]

[verse]
a bag of crows on the frontyard fence
chicken+head walking stick paint no pretense
cat knocked+out t++th can’t chew on a bone
gimp down the hole

[refrain]
ruby lays across the bed
you’re coming home

[chorus]
sally … what you doing here?
sally … what you doing here?

[verse]
hopped a mule with a rail+tie sack
“no brother”, jimmy says
“she ain’t coming back”
straw man the piney trading gum for wire
i waited a long time

[refrain]
ruby lays across the bed
you’re coming home
[chorus]
sally … what you doing here?
sally … what you doing here?
