Song Lyrics

Sali went down
She went down
Gonna meet the Devil
Down South
Ohh, how can it be?

Me and my girl
We had a quarrel
Didn't see her today
But I'll see her tomorrow
Ohh, how can it be?

Well, run and tell your ma
Run and tell your pa
That things ain't right the way they are
It's such a cruel and evil world
To put an end to a golden girl
Well, oh, my Lord
How can it be?

Sali went down
She went down
Gonna meet the Maker
Down 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 we gonna live with the deeds he done?
Oh, my Lord
How can it be?

The Earth stood still
The Earth stood still
Stood and stared, it 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
Everything's upside down
Nothing makes sense now
Nothing makes sense now
Everything's been turned around
And, oh, God
Are you listening to me now?
I just can never forgive you
For this deed you let go down

Sali went down
She went down
Gonna meet the Devil
Down South
Ohh, how can it be?

So, run and tell your ma
Run and tell your pa
That things ain't right the way they are
And don't you laugh and don't you cry
'Cause you'll be an angel by and by
Oh, by and by
How can it be?

Sali went down
She went down
