“Long Tall Sally Rose” is sung from the perspective of people within the story, rather than that of the narrator (tracks 1 and 2) or Sally (tracks 3-7).
After her partner’s death, she’s assembled a band that’s drawing large crowds, and the lyrics are the “talk of the town” in the days leading up to...
[Verse 1]
Well, tonight I'm gonna wear my dancing shoes
Because I heard the word and I heard the news
There's a gal in town, she's packing them in
If you've seen her once, you'll see her again
[Chorus]
She's got a red hot dynamite band
They're burning down another one night stand
Headlining double shows
Everybody go see Sally Rose
[Verse 2]
She sure knows how to rock the crowd
Rocks them slow, rocks them loud
So you better move fast because tickets are tight
If you want to see Sally Rose pick it tonight
[Chorus]
She's got a red hot dynamite band
They're burning down another one night stand
Headlining double shows
Everybody go see Sally Rose
