 G
Sally Ann, Sally Ann
     C
She kissed like a girl, cursed like a man
   G
I heard she married very young to
 D
Someone in the Klu Klux Klan

I bet she never told 'em though
     C
Her first love was with a Negro
   G
I wonder what they'd think of that

The thought of loving someone black

And someone black loving you back
