little sadie

went out last night to take a little round

i met a little sadie and i blowed her down

bummed a ride home

got in to bed

44 smokeless under my head

i began to think what the deed i'd done

grabbed my hat and away'd i run

made a good run just a little too slow

overtook me in jericho

standin' on the corner

ringin' the bell

up walks the sheriff from thomasville

says young man is your name brown? 'member that night you shot sadie down?"
