Little Sadie |
| Went out last night to take a little round. |
| I met my little Sadie and I brought her down. |
| I ran right home and I went to bed |
| With a forty-four smokeless under my head. |
| I began to think what a deed I’d done. |
| I grabbed my hat and I began to run. |
| I made a god run but I ran too slow; |
| They overtook me down in Jericho |
| Standing on a corner a ringin' my bell, |
| Up stepped the sheriff from Thomasville. |
| He said 'Young man is you name Brown? |
| Remember you blowed Sadie down." |
| «Oh yes sir, my name is Lee. |
| I murdered little Sadie in the first degree. |
| First degree and second degree. |
| If you’ve got any papers will you serve them to me?» |
| Well they took me down town and they dressed me in black, |
| They put me on a train and they sent me back. |
| I had no one to go my bail; |
| They crammed me back into the county jail. |
| Oh, yes they did. |
| 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 the stripes; |
| Oh, no! |
| Went out last night to take a little round. |
| I met little Sadie and I blowed her down. |
| I ran right home and I went to bed, |
| A forty-four smokeless under my head. |
