Early one Sunday morning
Breakfast was on the table
There was no time to eat
She said to me, "Boy, hurry to Sunday school"
Filled with a lot of glory
We learned the holy story, yes
She'll always have a dream
Despite the things this troubled world can bring
Oh, Sadie, don't you know we love you
Sweet Sadie, place no one above you
Sweet Sadie, living in the past
Sometimes it seems so funny no money can turn your life around
No, no, Sadie
Sweeter than cotton candy (Sadie)
And stronger than papa's old brandy (Sadie)
Always that needed smile
Once in a while she would break down in a cry
Sometimes she'd be so happy, yes (Sadie)
Singing with us and daddy (Sadie)
Standing the worst of times
Breaking our minds with just a simple song
Oh, Sadie, don't you know we love you
Sweet Sadie, place no one above you
Sweet Sadie, living in the past
Sometimes it seems so funny no money can turn your life around
(Sadie) No, no
(Don't you know we love you)
(Sweet Sadie) Sadie
(Place no one above you)
(Sweet Sadie) Sadie
(Living in the past) One Sunday morning, yes
(Sadie, don't you know we love you)
(Sweet Sadie, place no one above you)
(Sweet Sadie)
