Monongahela Sal - Pete Seeger

She was born in an old Mannessan Alley

Her Ma and her Pa named her Sal

She Grew up to be the pride of the valley

Typical Monongahela gal

She wandered one day by the river

And she watched the Jason steaming by

Her heart gave a leap and a quiver

As she caught the handsome pilot's roving eye

Now his name you must know was Moat Stanley

And he wore a fancy sporting coat

He was tall dark and handsome and manly

The slickest pilot ever steered a boat

Roll on roll on Monongahela

Roll on to the Ohio

Roll on past Alequippi

Down to the Mississippi

Clear up to the Gulf of Mexico

Now Moat gave a toot on his whistle

And the Jason churned the water at her stern

And Sal stepping light as a thistle

Reached up and took Mote Stanley's hand in hers

It was love careless love by the river

It was love careless love by the shore

And I'm sure the Good Lord will forgive her

For she never knew what love was like before

He swore that he always would love her

As they locked through the old Emsworth Dam

But that night overboard he did shove her

And then Moat Stanley took it on the lam

Well no one could say our Sal was sickly

She didn't even take time out to bawl

But she high tailed it right down for Souickly

Slappin' out a fast Australian crawl

She had a freight for Rochester

And there would Moat Stanley's gore

From a yard bull who tried to molest her

She open sal hit great big 44

She raisin' that big shooting iron

Sal pumped six bullets into Moat

And when she let down after for her

She'd sure messed up that fancy sporting coat

Roll On roll on Monongahela

Where the catfish and the carp left long ago

You used to be so pure

But now you're just a sewer

You're messing up the Gulf of Mexico
