TUNESMITH TUESDAY - "Mustang Sally" by The Commitments

Yeah, yeah... I know Wilson Pickett is the OG for this song,
but I dig this version a TON!
Mustang Sally

Mustang Sally
Guess you better slow that Mustang down
Mustang Sally, now baby
Guess you better slow that Mustang down
You've been running all over town
Ooh, I guess you gotta put your flat feet on the ground

(Spoken: "Sing it to me one more time girls.")

-Chorus-
All you wanna do is ride around Sally [Ride, Sally, ride]
All you wanna do is ride around Sally [Ride, Sally, ride]
All you wanna do is ride around Sally [Ride, Sally, ride]
All you wanna do is ride around Sally [Ride, Sally, ride]
Tell you, one of these early mornings
I'm gonna be wiping those weepin' eyes, yeah

I brought you a brand new Mustang [ride]
It was a nineteen sixty five
Now you comin' around to signify a woman
Girl, you won't, you won't let me ride

Mustang Sally, now baby [Sally, now baby]
Guess you better slow that Mustang down [down], alright
You've been running all over town
Oh, I guess you gotta put your flat feet on the ground

(Spoken: "Oh yeah, baby, you gotta put your flat feet")

-Chorus-

All you wanna do is ride around Sally [Ride, Sally, ride]
All you wanna do is ride around Sally [Ride, Sally, ride]
All you wanna do is ride around Sally [Ride, Sally, ride], ah yeah
All you wanna do is ride around Sally [Ride, Sally, ride]

One of these early mornings
I'm gonna be wiping those weepin' eyes, yeah

(Spoken: "Oh yeah, baby, come on, boys")

Those weepin' eyes, oh yeah, those weepin' eyes
Those weepin' eyes, yeah, yeah, yeah, those weepin' eyes
Those weepin' eyes
Oh, those weepin' eyes

yeah, yeah, yeah, hey yeah.
