Description: A funky tune about a riverboat casino dancer known named Black Sally

They couldn’t find the one that stabbed
Old Nasty Sam, but then they nabbed
Black Sally down on Basin Street,
her hands stained red like autumn beets

The judge condemned her to her fate;
as news spread of her circumstance 
the hangman didn't make them wait
to see Black Sally's final dance.

On Fridays down at Nasty Sam’s
they used to watch Black Sally dance.
She looks so sweet, like she could make 
a delta fella’s false teeth ache.

On Fridays down at Nasty Sam’s
they come to watch Black Sally dance…
She looks so sweet, like she could make 
a delta fella’s false teeth ache.

You pay your dollar at the door,
but Sally has them spending more.
The locals watch her operate—
she jiggles like plum marmalade.

Black Sally traveled in her teens
from Memphis down to New Orleans
on riverboat casino clubs,
along the way she learned her stuff.

If you’ve got notions in your head
‘bout Sally best you don’t forget 
her lover is a jealous man,
a smuggler known as Nasty Sam.

They say he killed another guy
he caught with Sally on the sly.
He don’t talk much and folks don’t pry,
just give him room when he walks by.

One night there was an awful scene,
the lights went out and Sally screamed.
We heard a crash and then a thud 
and Sam was in a pool of blood…
