Sally Brown she's a bright mulatter,
(Way-ay-y, roll and go.)
She drinks rum and chews terbaccer,
(Spend my money on Sally Brown)

Seven long years I courted Sally,
Seven long years I courted Sally.

Sally Brown she has a daughter
Sent me sailing 'cross the water.

Sally Brown she's a bright mulatter,
She drinks rum and chews terbaccer.
