Out From the Valley & Into the Stars

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
