Sally Goodin (Goodwin)

A lovely traditional tune - all about the lovely Sally Goodin...



SALLY GOODIN'

Love her, love Sally Goodin'
Love her, sweet thing Sally Goodin'

A big piece of pie, a big piece of puddin'
Give it all away, to hug Sally Goodin'

Looked on the hill, seen Sally runnin'
Yes my my, sweet thing Sally comin'

Up and down the road , the road all muddy
To hug Sally Goodin, till she can't stand steady

Upon the hillside, hewin' on a log
Frogs in the millpond, barking like a dog

Before you hear that rooster crow
Sprinkle little meal before her door

My favorite version - featuring Earl Scruggs and the Chieftans - so much energy!:

 

 

And the way that banjo break is played (approximately):
