Henry Carey

Summary

Henry Carey,  Sally in Our Alley (1805)

“ There's ne'er a lady in the land
⁠That's half so sweet as Sally,
For she's the darling of my heart,
⁠And she lives in our Alley.
Her father he makes cabbage-nets,
⁠For those who want to buy 'em,
Her mother she makes laces long,
⁠And thro' the streets does cry 'em
”
