Suicide sal was an uptown girl She made them laugh and sing And the silken girl that you walked to town Made their all times seem like spring Suicide sal was everyone's pal She wore her heart on her speech But the musical years led only to tears Oh, too soon she had to leave Suicide sal, Everyone thought she was wild But nobody knew What she'd been through She had the heart of a child Suicide sal, where are you now? Your fame lives on and on You're the lady of the night When you stepped into the light Light became a musical song Chorus Now the story has no end Sal was my friend Her spirit lives on in me When i sing my song I hear her sing along We're both leaves on the family tree.
