Went out last night to take a little round [E] I met a little Sadie and [A] I blowed her down
Run right home and I went to bed [D] With a .44
smokeless under my head
When the girls all heard little Sadie was dead [E] They went home and we ragged in [A] red
Gummies slipping and sliding down the street [D] In the loose mother hubbards in the stocking
field Well I began to think what a deed I'd [B] done
And I grabbed my hat and I stopped [A] to run I made a good run just a [E] little too slow
They overtook me [D] in Jericho Standing
[E] [A]

Upstairs the sheriff of Thomasville Said young man is your name Lee [E] Brown?
[D] Remember the night you blowed Sadie down?
I said yes my name is Lee And I [A] murdered little Sadie in the first degree
First degree and the second degree [E] [A] If you got any papers read them [D] to me
Took me downtown dressed me [A] in black Put me on the train and sent me back
Didn't [Am] have nobody to go my back
Threw me back in [D] county jail
