The Jaynetts - Sally, Go 'Round The Roses, 1963

Sally go 'round the roses (Sally go 'round the roses)

Sally go 'round the roses (Sally go 'round the pretty roses)

Roses they won't hurt you (Roses they can't hurt you)

Roses they can't hurt you. (No, the roses they can't hurt you)

Sally don't you go, don't you go downtown

Sally don't you go, don't you go downtown

Saddest thing in the whole wide world

Is to see your baby with another girl.

Sally go 'round (Oh, Sally don't you go)

'Round and around (Don't you go downtown)

Sally go 'round (No, don't you go downtown)

'Round and around (Yes, because the)

Saddest thing in the whole wide world

Is to see your baby with another girl.

Sally go 'round the roses (Sally go 'round the roses)

Sally go 'round the roses (Sally go 'round the pretty roses)

They won't tell your secret (They won't tell your secret)

They won't tell your secret (No, the roses won't tell your secret)

      In 1963, a female singing group called the Jaynetts made their only hit called "Sally Go Round the Roses." It stood out from every other girl-group song of the era because of its haunting lyric and freakish sound. Though it could be heard on every pop station in America (it peaked at No.2 for two weeks in early September, 1963), you didn't know whether the radio station was right next door with a 50,000 watt signal, or beamed through the static of a low-wattage station a thousand miles away.
