Little Sadie

Went out last night, I took a little round

I met my Little Sadie and I blowed her down

Went back home and got into bed

A forty-four smokeless under my head

Woke up in the morning 'bout a half past nine

The hacks and the buggies always standing in line

Gents and the gamblers standing all round

Taking little Sadie to her burying ground

Then I begin to think what a deed I'd done

I grabbed my hat and away I run

Take a little run but a little too slow

They overtook me in Jericho

Standing on the corner, reading the bill

When up stepped the sheriff from Thomasville

He says, young man, ain't your name Brown

Remember that night you shot Sadie down

I said, yes, sir, my name is Lee

I murdered little Sadie in the first degree

And first degree and second degree

If you got any papers, won't you read 'em to me

Copy paste is a sin, always on the run is better

Went out last night, I took a little round

I met my Little Sadie and I blowed her down

Went back home and got into bed

A forty-four smokeless under my head??? a half past nine

The hacks and the buggies always standing in line

Gents and the gamblers standing all round

Taking little Sadie to her burying ground

Then I begin to think what a deed I'd done

I grabbed my hat and away I run

Took a little run but a little too slow

They overtook me in Jericho

I, standing on the corner, reading the bill

When up stepped the sheriff from Thomasville

He says, young man, ain't your name Brown

Remember that night you shot Sadie down

I said, yes, sir, my name is Lee

I murdered little Sadie in the first degree

And first degree and second degree

If you got any papers, won't you read 'em to me

They took me downtown and dressed me in black

Put me on the train and started me back

They crammed me back in that Thomasville jail

And I had no money for to go my bail
