OLD MISS SALLY. AKA and see "Miss Sally at the Party," "I Asked That Pretty Girl to Be My Wife." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Mississippi. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The tune and accompanying ditty was recorded by Herbert Hatcher in 1939 on a field trip to Iuka, Tishomingo County, Mississippi, from the playing of farmer John Hatcher, dressed in his Sunday best, who had left his plow to record. Hatcher learned much of his repertoire from two older fiddlers, Dick Brown and George Cheek.
Oh Miss Sally, Sally, Oh Miss Sally, Sally,
I asked Miss Sally for to be my wife,
She run at me with a butcher knife,
Oh Miss Sally, Sally, Oh Miss Sally, Sally-O.
Oh Miss Sally, Sally, Oh Miss Sally, Sally,
Asked Miss Sally for to be my wife,
Said she wouldn't to save my life,
Miss Sally, Miss Sally, Oh Miss Sally, Sally-O.
