SALLY G — Paul McCartney & Wings
This dandy little countrified tune was the B-side of the «Junior’s Farm»
single way back in 1975. The label of the record says «Recorded in
England» but I believe it was recorded in Nashville with Chet Atkins on
guitar and Floyd Cramer on piano. I don’t know who played the fiddle
and the steel guitar.

Now I’m on my own again and I wonder
If she ever really understood
