Little Johnny Brown he joined the Army
He packed his kit to go away to war.
Little Sally Green
was Johnny's fond sweet heart
And this is what he whispered
as they parted on the shore.

Goodbye Sally I'm saying goodbye
Goodbye Sally I don't want you to cry
I want to see that smile
that wonderful smile
That's going to cheer me on my way
Right through the Siegfried Line so
GoodBye Sally it won't be for long
Don't you worry I'll be singing a song
And when it's all through pally
I'll meet you in our alley Sally
So long it won't be long.

Goodbye Sally I'm saying goodbye
Goodbye Sally I don't want you to cry
I want to see that smile
that wonderful smile
That's going to cheer me on my way
Right through the Siegfried Line so
GoodBye Sally it won't be for long
Don't you worry I'll be singing a song
And when it's all through pally
I'll meet you in our alley Sally
So long it won't be long.

Johnny Brown transferred into the Air Force
He got his wings and flew into the sky.
He wrote a little note while he was up above
And dropped it in the alley for his Sally
with his love...

Goodbye Sally I'm saying goodbye
Goodbye Sally I don't want you to cry
I want to see that smile
that wonderful smile
That's going to cheer me on my way
Right through the Siegfried Line so
GoodBye Sally it won't be for long
Don't you worry I'll be singing a song
And when it's all through pally
I'll meet you in our alley Sally
So long it won't be long.

Goodbye Sally I'm saying goodbye
Goodbye Sally I don't want you to cry
I want to see that smile
that wonderful smile
That's going to cheer me on my way
Right through the Siegfried Line so
GoodBye Sally it won't be for long
Don't you worry I'll be singing a song
And when it's all through pally
I'll meet you in our alley Sally
So long it won't be long.
