Sadie (Single Version)

Sadie - The Spinners

In a world like today

It's a rare occasion to be able

To see 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 âboy hurry to sunday schoolâ

Filled with her 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

Some times 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 awhile 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 baby

Don't you know we love you

She'll lovin' us all in a special way

Well well well

Place no one above you

Sweet sadie livin' in the past

Oh she's never sinnin'

In love she's always winnin' yeah

My my my my my

I love you mama

I just can't forget

How you gave me love oh lord

If there's a heaven up above

I know she's teaching angels how to love

Sadie

It's a mean world without you

All the love you showed

Oh i could never ever doubt her lovely word

Ain't it funny that in the end it's not money
