Little Sally San
was a maid from Old Japan,
as lovely as the blossoms
which she wore,
Mike O'Donahue
was an Irishman, 'tis true,
in love with Sally San
on foreign shore.
He was a Captain bold
on a ship that carried gold,
into that lovely country of Japan,
Ev'ry day he looked and sighed
for he longed to make a bride
of lovely Sally San from Old Japan.

Little Sally San,
won't you let me be your man?
You are the only girl that I adore,
I'll wash all the dishes
and I'll sweep the floor,
I'll do anything you may ask me and more,
I'll take you back to Ireland
if you will give to me your hand,
my lovely Sally San,
Let me be your Irishman.

Now Little Sally San
really liked this Irishman,
though of suitors
she had twenty a plenty,
she would smile and look so sweet
they would all lay at her feet,
their treasures of love for her hand,
'Til at last O'Donahue
in his love was very blue,
and he swore he'd steal
this maiden from Japan
So he said now Sally San,
ye must take this Irishman
or bejabbers now me dear
I will take you.

Little Sally San,
won't you let me be your man?
You are the only girl that I adore,
I'll wash all the dishes
and I'll sweep the floor,
I'll do anything you may ask me and more,
I'll take you back to Ireland
if you will give to me your hand,
my lovely Sally San,
Let me be your Irishman.
