Little Sadie
Went out last night to make a little round I met Little Sadie and I blowed her down Went back home, I jumped into bed Forty-four smokeless under my head
Woke up next morning, quarter past nine The hacks and the buggies all standin' in line Gents and the gamblers standin' around Taking Little Saddie to the burying ground
Well I got to thinking on the deed I'd done I grabbed my hat and away I run Made a good run, but a little too slow They overtook me in Jericho
I was standing on the corner just reading the bill Up come the sheriff from Thomasville Said young man ain't your name Brown Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Remember the night you blowed Sadie down
Well I said yes sir my name is Lee I murdered Little Sadie in the first degree First degree, and the second degree Got any papers, better read them to me
Well they took me downtown dressed in black Put me on the train, they carried me back Throwed me back in that county jail Had nobody for to go my bail
Well the judge and jury they took their stand The judge had the papers in his right hand Forty-one days, forty-one nights Forty-one years to wear the ball and stripes
