- Ballad of Sally Rose -
by Emmylou Harris, from her album 'The Ballad of Sally Rose' (1985)
Written by Emmylou Harris and Paul Kennerley
BbHer mama picked him up in Ebsouth MinneBbsota
He promised her the world but they Fnever got that Bbfar
For he was last seen in that 'Eb59 DeSBbota
When Sally was born in the black Fhills of DakBbota
BbShe was washed in the blood of the Ebdying Sioux Bbnation
Raised with a proud but a wFandering Bbheart
And she knew that her roots were in the Ebold reserBbvation
But she had stars in her eyes and greFater expecBbtations
No Ebrings on her Bbfingers no Fbells on her Bbtoes
With Ebbugs on her headBblights
And C7runs in her Fhose
Through the Ebvalley of the Fshadow of BbRoosevelt's Ebnose
AdiBbos South Dakota, adiFos Sally BbRose
FThey've got a national monument Bbcarved out of stone
On the Fside of a mountain where her fBborefathers roamed
Playing cowboys and Indians right Ebunder the Bbnose
Of Theodore Roosevelt and the Fsweet Sally BbRose
BbSo she left Rapid City in the Ebblue moonlight Bbhour
With her eye on the highway and her Ffoot on the fBbloor
And turnin' the dial she was Ebpulled by the Bbpower
Of the word coming out of that Fbroadcasting Bbtower
NoEb rings on herBb fingers noF bells on herBb toes
With Ebbugs on her headBblights
And C7runs in her Fhose
Through the Ebvalley of the Fshadow of BbRoosevelt's Ebnose
AdiBbos South Dakota, adiFos Sally BbRose
