Little Sadie

Little Sadie - Bob Dylan

Went out last night to take a little round

I met my little Sadie and I brought her down

I ran right home and I went to bed

With a forty-four smokeless under my head

Went out last night to take a little round

I met my little Sadie and I brought her down

I ran right home and I went to bed

With a forty-four smokeless under my head

I began to think what a deed I'd done

I grabbed my hat and I began to run

I made a god run but I ran too slow;

They overtook me down in Jericho

Standing on a corner ringin' my bell

Up stepped the sheriff from Thomasville

He said "Young man is you name Brown

Remember the night you blowed Little Sadie down "

"Oh yes sir my name is Lee

I murdered little Sadie in the first degree

First degree and second degree

If you've got any papers will you serve them to me "

Well they took me down town and they dressed me in black

They put me on a train and they brought me back

I had no one for to go my bail;

They crammed me back into the county jail

The judge and the jury they took their stand

The judge had the papers in his right hand

Forty-one days forty-one nights;

Forty-one years to wear the ball and the stripes
