Sally Kruger was the cream of the crop
She had curly blonde hair
Every school boy fell in love with her
And Barry Hicks
Was a boy with hands as big as pancakes
He fell in love
The moment she raised up her eyelid
He asked her if she wanna take a ride with him
It was fall
And the leaves began to leave
When the church bells rang on sunday
Sally hung down from a tree
Tell me who took
Tell me who took
Tell me who took sally the prom night
Sheriff Walter Brown
Was staring at his boots
He never saw a murder
As bloody as this one was
He was talking to Barry
But he refused to speak
He bit off his tongue
And fell down on his knees
It was a friday night
The town was getting nervous
Mr. Kruger was working and
He'd been drinking since his thirties
The rifle full of bullets
And the body full of wine
He shot down Barry Hicks
As fast as teardrops leave the eye
Tell me who took
Tell me who took
Tell me who took sally the prom night
Most of the people think
This is where the story ends
But when barry hicks looked up
And saw the rifle in Pa' Kruger's hands
Barry couldn't breathe
'Cos before he kept on dying
He saw in the eyes of the man
Who took Sally's life
And he could read her scars
Like a postcard
And she never looked that alive
A night before
With an knife sticking out of her skull
