I'd had enough of the valley So I took a walk down to Vincent street Thinking there might be somebody Hanging round there that i'd like to meet But I walked round there for hours And there was no one that I could see No one but three gutter flowers All singing "Oh pretty darling, Move on pretty darling" So I went back to the valley And there was still nothing there but weeds And my girl long, tall Sally Just said "Baby, it's all free with me" So I sailed out to the island Lay on my back staring at the stars And they all danced high above me All singing "Oh pretty darling, Just go home pretty darling" So I sailed back from the island And I stood there now just skin and bones Hoping to say "Hey Sally, Well come on then, let's give it a go" But Sally'd gone and got married So I sat up in that house alone Looking back out across the valley And singing "Oh pretty darling, Why'd you run pretty darling?" Oh pretty darling
