Sally, Sally, water,

Come sprinkle in your pan.

For down in the meadow,

There lies a young man.


Rise Sally, rise,

And don’t you look so sad.

You shall choose a husband,

Good or bad.


Choose you East or choose you West,

Choose the one you love the best.


Now you’ve married one, your joy,

First a girl and then a boy.

Seven years now and seven to come,

Take her and kiss her and send her off home.
