- Verse:
- Everything is over and I'm
feeling bad, I lost the best pal that I ever had;
- 'Tis but a fortnight, since
she was here, Seems like she's gone though for twenty-year,
- Oh how I miss her my old
pal, Oh how I'd kiss her my gal Sal;
- Face not so handsome, but
eyes don't you know, That shone just as bright, as they did years
ago.
-
- Chorus:
- They called her frivolous
Sal,
- A peculiar sort of a gal,
- With a heart that was mellow,
- An all'-round good fellow,
was my old pal.
- Your troubles, sorrows and
care,
- She was always willing to
share;
- A wild sort of devil, But
dead on the level,
- Was My Gal Sal.
