Little Sadie

Lyrics

Went out last night to take a look around I met Little Sadie and I blowed her down Went right home, I jumped in bed Forty-four smokers under my head I began to think about the deed I'd done I grabbed my hat and away I'd run Made a good run, a little too slow They overtook me in Jericho Standing on the corner, reading a bill Upspoke the sheriff from Thomasville Said "You, miss, your name Brown Tell me about the night you blowed Sadie down" I said "Oh yes, sir, my name is Lee I burned Little Sadie in thе first degree First degree, second dеgree Have you got any papers? Will you read 'em to me?" They took me downtown, dressed me in black Put me on a train and sent me back Haven't got a cent for my bail They dragged me in the county jail Judge and jury took their stand The judge had the papers in his right hand Forty-one days, forty-one nights Forty-one years to wear the balls and stripes
