Little Sadie |
| Went out one night to make a little round |
| I met Little Sadie and I shot her down |
| Went back home, jumped into bed |
| 44 pistol under my head |
| I woke up in the morning about half past nine |
| The hacks and the buggies standing in line |
| Gents and gamblers standing around |
| Taking little sadie to her burying ground |
| I began to think of what a deed I'd done |
| I grabbed my hat and away I did run |
| Made a good run, just a little too slow |
| They overtook me in jericho |
| Standing on the corner a reading a bill |
| And up stepped the sheriff from thomasville |
| He said miss is your name brown |
| Remember the night you shot sadie down |
| I said oh yes sir but my name is lee |
| And i murdered little sadie in the first degree |
| First degree and second degree |
| Got any papers will you read 'em to me |
| So they took me downtown and dressed me in black |
| Put me on a train and started me back |
| All the way back to the thomasville jail |
| Had no money for to go my bail |
| The judge and the 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 |
| Went out one night to make a little round |
| I met Little Sadie and I shot her down |
| Went back home, jumped into bed |
| 44 pistol under my head. |
