I jump in bed and covered up my head
Wish I was dead, Sally Jo
Sally Jo, where did you go, Sally Jo?

Since you have gone my days are turned to night
Nothin' goes right, Sally Jo
Sally Jo, where did you go, Sally Jo?

The hurt you left has just begun to show
Sally Jo, I feel so low
Sally Jo, where did you go, Sally Jo?

Sally Jo, Sally Jo
Hear my plea, come back to me

I'm like a little dog left out to stray
No one wants me, no place to stay
Sally Jo, where did you go, Sally Jo?

Did I do bad when I was good to you?
Yes or no, Sally Jo
Sally Jo, where did you go, Sally Jo?

The torch I carried shines and light so bright
For me to see, Sally Jo
Sally Jo, where did you go, Sally Jo?
Sally Jo, Sally Jo
Hear my plea, come back to me
Sally Jo, Sally Jo
