From the New England Dancing Masters “Down in the Valley”
Green Sally up, green Sally down
Green Sally baked her possum brown
I asked my mama, for fifty cents
To see the elephant jump the fence
It jumped so high, it touched the sky
And it didn’t come back ‘til the Fourth of July, singin’..
A7 is Pink
This basic melody repeats for each line; note that this notation is in another key
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don't understand
I can take myself dancing
And I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
Your choice!
