[Intro] G D G [Chorus 1]
C               G
Red River Sally lived in the alley

                              D
In the room above the general store...44

       G                           C
Giving joy to the world, night and day without fail

G           D           G
Hers was an fascinating tail
[Verse 1]
G
From her bed now a young man was leaving

                                   D
She said be kind when you bid me adieu

       G          G7        C
And remember that Red River Sally

        G            D          G
Was the first one to give it to you
[Verse 2]
G
What a mess on that first night he came here

                                     D
Standing stiffly with his hat in his hand

      G            G7                C
Sally said well we might as well get started

             G             D          G
So lift your hat and we'll do what we can
[Chorus 1]
C               G
Red River Sally lived in the alley

                              D
In the room above the general store...44

       G                          C
Giving joy to the world night and day without fail

G          D           G
Hers was a fascinating tail
[Verse 3]
G
Now he was scared and said I don't know how to doo it

                                        D
She said hell boy you know you're not alone

     G                G7           C
Join Over half the married men who come here

              G          D           G
Act like they never ever practice at home
[Verse 4]
G
Well, as it happened that bed sure got a workout

                                          D
When she said stop,...he said I've just begun

       G                  G7       C
So the back again they'ed go for another

         G                  D             G
Till the young man told her loving can be fun
[Chorus 2]
C               G
Red River Sally lived in the alley

                              D
In the room above the general store...44

       G                          C
Giving joy to the world night and day without fail

    G                  D                   G
But this young man had finally stopped her tail
[Verse 5]
G
Now this little story does have a moral

                                            D
That when you have a woman always treat her well

           G               G7          C
But always business should come before pleasure

         G             D                G
So don't give a thing away that you can sell
[Verse 6]
G
You see that both are living high, wide and handsome

                                   D
All because of this profane philosophy

           G                 G7      C
What Sally sometimes did for fun and profit

    G          D            G
She never ever does now for free
[Chorus 3]
C                     G
Red River Sally still lives in the alley

                            D
In a room above the general store...44

       G                                   C
Giving joy to the world but there's been a change in how

    G                       G
For this red headed looker, has become a hooker

                        C      G
And her young man's her booker now
