[1st verse:] Moon was slyly peeping from above On a summer's night Sally Brown and Joe were making love 'Neath the pale moonlight Sally said, "I think I'd better go" As she rolled her eyes But foxy little Joe Said, "There's a game I know Called telling lies" [Refrain:] Telling lies Telling lies Say you never want to be Near to me Dear to me Telling lies, close your eyes Then a kiss or two I'll steal and give them back to you While telling lies [2nd verse:] Little Sally Brown and Joe were wed She became his bride "I will never marry you," she said Then the knot was tied Ev'ry morn he kisses her goodbye Leaves her all alone But 'fore he goes away These words he'll always say, "I won't come home"
