Somehow along the way

Lord God, her name was Sally

She lived in the Kanawha Valley

Just outside of Charleston, West Virginia, US of A

Sally done me down and dirty
G
Really put that hurting on me

Reckon how she must have got her kicks that way

She turned me every way, but loose

Blew my mind and she cooked my goose
D A D
And stomped my Georgia soul into that West Virginia clay

Now I'm walking back to Georgia crying

Lord I feel like I'm-a dying

Everything I try to do right

Seems to turn out wrong

I met a gal from West Virginia

With my hat in my hand
