Sadie

Lyrics

[Intro] In a world like today It's rare to see young mothers like the ones Who were around when I grew up But they live on in memory to quite a few of us And this song is dedicated to those of us who cherish that memory [Verse 1] 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 the Lord of glory We learned the Holy story She'll always have her dreams Despite the things this troubled world can bring [Chorus] Oh, Sadie Don't you know we love you, sweet Sadie? (We love you, Sadie) Place no one above you, sweet Sadie (Well, well, well) Living in the past (Sometimes it seems so funny No money will turn your life around) [Verse 2] Sweeter than cotton candy Stronger than pappy's old brandy Always that needed smile, once in awhile She would break down and cry Sometimes she'd seem so happy, yeah, yeah Just being with us and daddy Standing the worst of times, breaking the binds With just a simple song [Chorus] Oh, Sadie Don't you know we love you, sweet Sadie? (Oh darling) Place no one above you, sweet Sadie Living in the past (Ever since the beginning It's her her love that was always winning, oh) Sadie (Sadie, baby) Don't you know we love you, sweet Sadie? (Well, we love you, Sadie) Place no one above you, sweet Sadie Living in the past (If there's a heaven up above I know that she's teaching angels how to love) Sadie (My, my, my, my, my) Don't you know we love you, sweet Sadie? (My Sadie) Place no one above you, sweet Sadie (Well, well, well) Living in the past (Isn't it funny that in the end It's just the love that you gave us, oh Sadie) Sadie (It's a mean world without you, yeah) Don't you know we love you, Sweet Sadie (I love you, mama, yeah) Place no one above you, sweet Sadie (I miss you, mama, yeah) Living in the past (Bring me the latest) (Sometimes I'm feeling so all alone But I know I've got to carry on) [Outro] Sadie (It's a mean world without you) Sadie (But I know I gotta go on) Sweet Sadie (It's what she wanted for me) Living in the past (Sweet Sadie, oh-oh) Sadie (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Sadie (I love you, mama, sweet Sadie) Sweet Sadie (I can't forget your love, no) Living in the past Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Sadie
