Little Sadie

Little Sadie - Greg Graffin

Written by：Doc Watson

Went out last night to take a little round

I met a little Sadie and I blowed her down

Bummed a ride home

Got in to bed

Forty four smokeless under my head

I began to think what the deed I'd done

Grabbed my hat and away I run

Made a good run just a little too slow

They overtook me in Jericho

Standing on the corner ringing the bell

Up walks the sheriff from Huntsville

Says young man is your name brown

'Member that night you shot Sadie down

Oh yes sheriff my name is Lee

I murdered little Sadie in the first degree

First degree second degree

If you got any papers you can read'em to me

Took me downtown dressed me in black

Put me on a train and they sent me back

Had no one for to go my bail

They crammed me back in the county jail

Judge and the jury took their stand

The judge held the paper in his right hand

Forty one days forty one nights

Forty one years to wear the ball and the stripes
