In Search of Little Sadie - Without Overdubs, Self Portrait

Went out last night just to take a little round
 I met my little Sadie and I bought her down
 I ran right home and I went to bed
 With a .44 smokeless under my head
 I began to think what a dead I done
 I grabbed my head and I began to run
 I made a good run but I run too slow
 They overtook me down in Jericho, mmh
 ♪
 Standin' on the corner as she's ringin' my bell
 Up stepped the sheriff from Thomasville
 He says, "Young man is you name Brown
 Remember you blowed little Sadie down?"
 ♪
 Oh, yes sir, my name is Lee
 I murdered little Sadie in first degree
 First degree and second degree
 If you got any papers, will you serve them to me
 Well, they took me downtown and they dressed me in black
 They put me on a train and they sent me back
 I had no one for to go my bail
 They crammed me back into the county jail
 Oh, yes they did
 Now the judge and the jury they took their stand
 The judge had the papers in his right hand
 41 days, 41 nights
 41 years to wear the ball and stripes, oh no
