On one inspirational Sunday, Wilson Picket wrote the lyrics to “Mustang Sally.” Below, you’ll find them:

Mustang Sally
H’uh, h’uh
Guess you better slow
Your Mustang down
Oh Lord, what I say now

Mustang Sally, now baby
Oh Lord
Guess you better slow
Your Mustang down
H’uh, oh yeah

You been runnin’ all over town, now
Oh, I guess I have to put your flat feet
On the ground
Ha!
What I said, now

Listen!
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) hu’h
All you wanna do is a ride around Sally
Alright (ride Sally ride)
Well, listen

One of these early mornins’, yeah
Woow!
Gonna be wipin’ yo weepin’ eyes
H’uh!
What I said, now

Look-a-here!
I bought you a brand new Mustang
A nineteen sixty-five, h’uh!
Now you come around
Signifyin’, now woman
You don’t wanna let me ride

Mustang Sally, now baby
Oh Lord!
Guess you better slow that Mustang down
H’uh! oh Lord!
Listen, you been runnin’ all over town
OOOW!
I have to put your flat feet on the ground
H’uh!
What I said now, yeah

Let me say it one more time y’all

Now, all you wanna do is ride around Sally
(Ride Sally)

All you wanna do is ride around Sally

FADES-

(Ride, Sally ride)

Ride Sally.
