Sal Got a Meatskin

Chorus
Sal got a meatskin hid away
Sal got a meatskin hid away
Sal got a meatskin hid away
Gonna get a meatskin (5) some 1 day

Sal got a meatskin 5 don't you know
Sal got a meatskin 1 don't you know
Sal got a meatskin 5 don't you know
Old Aunt Liza told me 1 so

Sal a-sailing on the sea,... (×3)
Sal's got a meatskin waiting for me

Went to see my Sally Gray,... (×3)
Found out Sal has gone away

Love my Sally more and more,... (×3)
What'd she go and leave me for

Reckon I love my Sally Gray,... (×3)
Reckon my Sal has gone away
