Hurray For The Riff Raff - Salli's Song Lyrics

Salli went down
She went down
Gonna meet the devil
Dance south
Oh
How can it be?
Me and my girl we had a part
Didn't see her today but gonna see her tomorrow
Ohh
How can it be?
Well run and tell your mom
Run and tell your pa
That things aren't right the way they are
It's such a cruel and evil world
To put an end to a golden girl
Well oh Lord
How can it be?

Salli went down
She went down
Gonna meet he maker
Dance south
Ohh
How can it be?
It's enough to make the devil cry
Throw the night out of the sky
You called the wolves but the wolves don't come
Now how are we gonna live with the deeds we've done?
Oh my Lord
How can it be?

The Earth stood still
The Earth stood still
Stood and stared and didn't do anything
The earth stood still
The earth stood still
Stood and stared it couldn't do anything
Nothing makes sense now
Nothing makes sense now
Every-thing's upside down
Nothing makes sense now
Nothing makes sense now
Every-thing's been turned around
Oh God
Are you listening to me now?
I can just never forgive you
For this deed you let go down

Salli went down
She went down
Gonna meet the devil
Dance south
Oh
How can it be?
So run and tell your ma
Run and tell your pa
That things aren't right the way they are
And don't you laugh and don;t you cry
And you'll be an angel
By and by
By and by
How can it be?

Salli went down
She went down
