The corner referred to in Round the Corner Sally is the treacherous Cape Horn. Many, many songs exist about the dangers involved and the pleasures that awaited the sailor who survived the passage. We've indulged in some rock and roll fun in this version.
lyrics
Round the Corner Sally
traditional arranged by Pint & Dale
Round the corner we must go
Round the corner Sally
Round the corner in the ice and snow
Round the corner Sally
Round the corner we will fly
Round the corner Sally
Round the corner by 'n' by
Round the corner Sally
Sally brown she's the gal for me
She's waitin there by the mango tree
She loves me deep she loves me long
She loves me hot she loves me strong
Round the corner Sally
Round the corner we must go
Round the corner Sally
Round the corner in the ice and snow
Round the corner Sally
Round the corner we will fly
Round the corner Sally
Round the corner by 'n' by
Round the corner Sally
Wish I had that gal in tow
I'd tow her up to Cally O
Where every man has a flowin' bowl
That Sally she's a cheery soul
Round the corner Sally
Round the corner we must go
Round the corner Sally
Round the corner in the ice and snow
Round the corner Sally
Round the corner we will fly
Round the corner Sally
Round the corner by 'n' by
Round the corner Sally
I thought I heard the old man say
Just one more pull and then belay
Just one more pull and that will do
For we're the lads to kick 'er through
So round er up and stretch her luff
I think by god we've hauled enough
Round the corner Sally
