Sadie (Live 1974 Concert Version)

Sadie (Live 1974 Concert Version) - The Spinners

Lyrics by：Bruce Hawes/Charles Simmons/Joseph B. Jefferson

In a world like today

It's a rare occasion to be able

To fine young mothers like the ones

That 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 who cherish that memory

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 a 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 well well well living in the past

Sometimes 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 a while she would break down and cry

Sometimes 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 Sadie baby

Don't you know

She'll love us all in a special way

Well well well place no one above you sweet Sadie

Living in the past

Oh she's never sinnin'

In love she's always winnin' yeah

My my my I love you mama

I just can't forget

How you gave me love oh Lord living in the past

If there's a heaven up above

I know she's teaching angels how to love

It's a mean world without you

All the love you showed

Oh how could anyone ever doubt your lovely word

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

Why why do the good leave so soon

Place no-one above you sweet Sadie

Oh I don't know living in the past

And though the people say they love my songs

Oh Lord I'm all alone I miss her so

Sadie well don't you know

We love you sweet Sadie

Place no one above you sweet Sadie oh

Can I just try try just one

More time and say I living in the past

And though we were very poor

She tried to love us that much more oh

Sadie

Have you ever have you ever met Sadie

The say don't you know

We love you sweet Sadie

The premier of ladies living in the past

Oh sometimes I feel so alone

But I know that I gotta on

Sadie

Don't you know we love you sweet Sadie

Place no one above you sweet Sadie yeah

Living in the past

Lord although my mama's no longer here

Only here

Just saying Lord when I

Whice hold song

Don't you know we love you sweet Sadie

That's more song

Some baby
