What began as an improvisation evolved into this timeless song by Cyril Tawney. Recorded on a cold, January evening, aided by the gentle warmth of a log fire and a wee dram.

lyrics

Sally free and easy, that should be her name
Sally free and easy, that should be her name
Took a sailor's loving for a nursery game

Well, the heart she gave me wasn't made of stone
No, the heart she gave me wasn't made of stone
It was sweet and hollow like a honeycomb

Think I'll wait till sunset, see the ensign down
Yes I'll wait till sunset, see the ensign down
Then I'll take the tideway to my burial ground

Sally free and easy, that should be her name
Sally free and easy, that should be her name
When my body's landed hope she dies of shame
