Little Sadie(Live)

Lyrics

Went out one night to make a little round
 I met Little Sadie and I shot her down
 Went back home, jumped into bed
 44 pistol under my head
 I woke up in the morning about half past nine
 The hacks and the buggies standing in line
 Gents and gamblers standing around
 Taking little Sadie to her burying ground
 I began to think of what a deed I'd done
 I grabbed my hat and away I did run
 Made a good run, just a little too slow
 They overtook me in Jericho
 Standing on the corner a reading a bill
 And up stepped the sheriff from Thomasville
 He said miss is your name brown
 Remember the night you shot Sadie down
 I said oh yes sir but my name is lee
 And i murdered little Sadie in the first degree
 First degree and second degree
 Got any papers will you read 'em to me
 So they took me downtown and dressed me in black
 Put me on a train and started me back
 All the way back to the Thomasville jail
 Had no money for to go my bail
 The judge and the jury they took their stand
 The judge had the papers in his right hand
 Forty one days, forty one nights,
 Forty one years to wear the ball and stripes
 Went out one night to make a little round
 I met Little Sadie and I shot her down
 Went back home, jumped into bed
 44 pistol under my head
