Bring Sally Up
Moby Lyrics

Ol' Miss Lucy's dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan

Ol' Miss Lucy's dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan

Bring sally up
And bring sally down
Lift and squat
Gotta tear the ground. (Repeat 5X)

Ol' Miss Lucy's dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan

Bring sally up
And bring sally down
Lift and squat
Gotta tear the ground. (Repeat 12X)

Ol' Miss Lucy's dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan

The lyrics to Moby's song Bring Sally Up are relatively simple, yet they give way to different interpretations. The song is often played during workout sessions, particularly those that involve lifting and squatting, which suggests that the song is all about exercise. The lyrics, “Bring Sally up and bring Sally down, lift and squat, gotta tear the ground” seem to be encouraging the listeners to perform the exercises mentioned.

However, there's more to the song than just fitness or exercise. The reference to Ol' Miss Lucy's "death" adds a melancholic element to the song. The line "Left me here to weep and moan" implies that the singer is grieving the loss of someone, possibly Ol' Miss Lucy. The song can also be viewed as an allegory of journeying through life; "lifting and squatting" can represent life's struggles and hardships that one must overcome, while "tearing the ground" can signify breaking barriers and pushing beyond one's limits.

Moreover, the repetitive nature of the lyrics adds to the song's hypnotic effect, which is why it's popular during workout sessions. This, combined with the upbeat tempo of the song, creates an energizing effect that motivates listeners to push themselves even harder.

Bring sally up
Get ready to lift

And bring sally down
Bring the weight back down

Lift and squat
Do a full range of motion exercise

Gotta tear the ground
Put in work and effort

Ol' Miss Lucy's dead and gone
The artist is mourning a lost lover

Left me here to weep and moan
The singer is lonely and grieving
