lyrics

Hats off to you Sullen Sally
I don’t care if you don’t look gladly
We’re here to say it ain’t sappy
That life sure ain’t give you no candy

You’ve never met me and I’ve never met you
You’ve never seen me but I’ve always seen you
Husbandless, childless, prophetless, and ugly

Hats off to you Sullen Sally
I don’t care if you don’t look gladly
Some day you’re gonna come in handy
When it’s okay to feel gladly

Family lore tends to wear at your brittle lines
Faces they captured fade into formless eyes
And hands that worked and bent and broke
And silently you hoped, and silently you broke

Hats off to you Sullen Sally
I don’t care if you don’t look gladly
Some day you’re gonna come in handy
Pushing, pushing up dandies
