About the Song

Green Sally up, Green Sally down
Green Sally bake her possum brown (repeat 4x)

Asked my mama for 40 cents
Watch that elephant jump the fence
Jumped so high, he touched the sky
Didn't come back 'til the 4th of July
Green Sally up, Green Sally down
Green Sally bake her possum brown (repeat 2x)

See that house on the hill
That's where me & my baby live
Nailed that possum to a tree
Keep me buzzing like a bumble bee...

1 re, 2 re, dickery 7
Haliboo, crackiboo, 10, 11
People must be done
Twinkle, twinke, 21
1 sall, 2 sall, sickasall zoh
Dog tail, dominickle
Deedle doll, doh
Hail 'em scale 'em Virgin Mary
Iketail a-link Tom
Ball - come on!
