about

'Sally Town' is about Drew & Bob surviving Hurricane Sandy while they were living in NYC.

lyrics

Well that howling rain is rolling in
From the St George port to the Pittsburgh rim.
Chief said, “you’d better lock yourself in.”
Oh Mary my queen is talking with the shells
While they clamber up the old chimney bell.
Oh no, things aren’t going so well.
Oh Mary won’t you stay?
It won’t do me good to leave today.
Did I hear you say?
We’re coming down from Sally town. x2

Hear that wind on the old steel rails
My Sister tried to make it but her tongues gone pale,
Said she heard it wouldn’t come so soon.
Mrs Finn with her old bucket there,
Trying to catch the rain coming down the stairs
Her kids were there, for the whole affair.
The clouds are turning cool
And all I can think of is you.
Grab that line passing through.
We’re blowing down from Sally Town. x2

Well I had guitar strapped across the tracks;
I was bound to play in New York such a long time back.
There’s no way I’m getting out of here alive.
Their tough in this place and I don’t know what I’ve done;
There’s a mean old lady and she ain’t out for fun;
She’s crowing, like the bat’s got her tongue.

Better hope she isn’t staying here too long.
And Mary’s keeping strong,
Staying by the lowlight in the fog.
She’ll cut those ropes when we’re gone.
We’re going down from Sally Town. x3

Two people who should have known better but unfortunately have been drinking on a number of seams and laying a tune to the dancing monkeys, but enough about us... how are you?
