Little Sadie - Norman Blake

[00:03.2]Went out last night to make a little round
[00:05.85]I met little Sadie and I blow her down
[00:08.34]Went back home and jump in my bed
[00:11.0]Forty-four smokeless under my head
[00:15.27]Waked up next morning 'bout a half past nine
[00:17.81]The hacks and the buggies all standing in line
[00:20.36]The gents and the gamblers standing all round
[00:23.01]Taking little Sadie to her burying ground
[00:27.61]I begin to think what a deed I'd done
[00:29.91]I grabbed my hat and away I run
[00:32.53]Made a good run but a little too slow
[00:34.99]They overtook me in Jericho
[00:39.26]I's standing on the corner reading the bill
[00:42.16]When up stepped the sheriff from Thomasville
[00:44.44]He said "Young man ain't your name Brown
[00:47.06]Remember that night you blow Sadie down "
[00:51.11]I said "Yes sir my name is Lee
[00:54.19]I murdered little Sadie in the first degree
[00:56.76]First degree and the second degree
[00:59.37]If you got any papers won't you read 'em to me "
[01:15.71]They took me downtown dressed me in black
[01:18.19]To put me on the train and carry me back
[01:20.86]Cram me back in that Thomasville jail
[01:23.479996]And I had no money for to go my bail
[01:27.79]The judge and the jury they took their stand
[01:30.43]The judge had the papers in his right hand
[01:33.15]Forty-one days and forty-one nights
[01:35.71]Forty-one years to wear the ball and the stripes
