It amazes me that this song never really saw the light of day before 1982, and I’m also amazed that some band hasn’t co-opted it for their own as a regular encore.
This is just one of those great songs that should have been an FM staple–it’s a good rocking song with plenty of room for improvisation, making it an almost perfect jam song. Additionally, it’s got a good beat and you can dance to it.
You can listen to this great song below.
And of course, the lyrics:
She’s over by the corner
Got her hands by her sides
They hit her harder harder harder
Till they thought she might die
Well I got a foggy notion, do it again
Over by the corner, do it again
I got my calamine lotion baby, do it again
I got a foggy notion, do it again
She made me do something that I never did before
I rushed right down to a flower store
I bought her a bundle a beautiful batch
Don’t you know something, she sent ‘em right back
Sally Mae, Sally Mae, Sally Mae, Sally Mae
Sally Mae, Sally Mae, Sally Mae, Sally Mae
