Sal's got a meatskin hid away,
Sal's got a meatskin hid away;
Sal's got a meatskin hid away,
Gonna get a meatskin some day.
Chorus:
Sal's got a meatskin don't you know,
Sal's got a meatskin don't you know;
Sal's got a meatskin don't you know,
Ola Liza told me so.
Sal a-sailling on the sea,
Sal a-sailling on the sea;
Sal a-sailling on the sea,
Sal got a meatskin a-waiting for me.
Went to see my Sally Gray,
Went to see my Sally Gray;
Went to see my Sally Gray,
Found out Sal is gone away.
Love my Sally more and more,
Love my Sally more and more;
Love my Sally more and more,
Sal's got a meatskin don't you know.
Reckon I love my Sally Gray,
Reckon I love my Sally Gray;
Reckon I love my Sally Gray,
Reckon my Sal is gone away.
