Sally Go Round The Roses

With its unusual sound for 1963 and enigmatic lyrics, Sally Go Round The Roses rose to #2 on the Billboard charts in the fall of that year.  Like many hits of that era, the singers comprising the Jaynetts were assembled for that one record.

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 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)
