Little Sadie |
Went out last night, take a little round |
Met little Sadie and I blowed her down |
Then I run right home and went to bed |
With a forty-four smokeless under my head |
The girls all heard little Sadie was dead |
They went home to be ragged in red |
Come a slippin' and a slidin' down the street |
In their loose mother hubbards and their stocking feet |
Well I began to think what a deed I’d done |
Grabbed my hat and I started to run |
I made a good run just a little too slow |
And they overtook me in Jericho |
Standing on the corner reading a bill |
Up stepped the sheriff of Thomasville |
Said young man is your name Lee Brown? |
Remember the night you blowed Sadie down? |
Yes I said my name is Lee |
I murdered little Sadie in a first degree |
First degree and a second degree |
If ya got any papers, read 'em to me |
Took me downtown, dressed me in black |
Put me on a train and send me back |
Didn’t have no one to go on my bail |
Throw me back in the county jail |
Judge and the jury took their stand |
Judge had the papers in his hand |
Forty-one days and forty-one nights |
Forty-one years just to wear them stripes |
