Little Sadie |
| Went out last night to make a little round |
| I met Little Sadie and I blowed her down |
| Went back home, I jumped into bed |
| Forty-four smokeless under my head |
| Woke up next morning, quarter past nine |
| The hacks and the buggies all standin' in line |
| Gents and the gamblers standin' around |
| Taking Little Saddie to the burying ground |
| Well I got to thinking on the deed I’d done |
| I grabbed my hat and away I run |
| Made a good run, but a little too slow |
| They overtook me in Jericho |
| I was standing on the corner just reading the bill |
| Up come the sheriff from Thomasville |
| Said young man ain’t your name Brown |
| Remember the night you blowed Sadie down |
| Well I said yes sir my name is Lee |
| I murdered Little Sadie in the first degree |
| First degree, and the second degree |
| Got any papers, better read them to me |
| Well they took me downtown dressed in black |
| Put me on the train, they carried me back |
| Throwed me back in that county jail |
| Had nobody for to go my bail |
| Well the judge and 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 |
