COTTING ON THE BOARDS

Sally with your long, dark hair,
Sally with your eyes so bright,
Sally with your lovely smile,
We'll be cotting on the boards tonight.

And I may kiss you on the cheek,
More I cannot do,
For I know you love a woman,
And I know she loves you, too.

[Sally with your long, dark hair...]

And we shall share our lovely dreams,
But we'll do nothing more
Than give us each a fond embrace,
Though I've loved you from afar.

[Sally with your long, dark hair...]

Oh Stephen, my sweet Stephen,
You surely must do more.
Lucy and I shall have a son,
A boy with curly hair,
And if you love me, you'll help us there,
Yes if you love me, you'll help us there.

[Sally with your long, dark hair...]
