early one sunday morning
breakfast was on the table
there was no time to eat
she said to me
boy
hurry to sunday school
filled with her load of glory
we learned the holy story
she'll always have her dreams
despite the things this troubled world can bring
oh
sadie
don't you know we love you
sweet sadie
place no one above you
sweet sadie
living in the past
some times it seems so funny
but no money will turn your life around
sweeter than cotton candy
stronger than papa's old brandy
always that needed smile
once in awhile she would break down and cry
some times she'd be so happy
just being with us and daddy
standing the worst of times
breaking the binds with just a simple song
oh
sadie
don't you know we love you
sweet sadie
place no one above you
sweet sadie
living in the past
oh
she's never sinnin'
in love she's always winnin'
yeah
sadie
don't you know we love you
sweet sadie
place no one above you
sweet sadie
living in the past
if there's a heaven up above
i know she's teaching angels how to love
sadie
don't you know we love you
sweet sadie
place no one above you
sweet sadie
living in the past
ain't it funny that in the end it's not money
it's just the love you gave us all
