traditional Went out last night, take a little round Met little Sadie and I blowed her down Then I run right home and went to bed With a forty-four smokeless under my head
The girls all heard little Sadie was dead They went home to be ragged in red Come a slippin` and a slidin` down the street In their loose mother hubbards and their stocking feet
Well I began to think what a deed I`d done Grabbed my hat and I started to run I made a good run just a little too slow And they overtook me in Jericho
Standing on the corner reading a bill Up stepped the sheriff of Thomasville Said young man is your name Lee Brown? Remember the night you blowed Sadie down?
Yes I said my name is Lee I murdered little Sadie in a first degree First degree and a second degree If ya got any papers, read `em to me
Took me downtown, dressed me in black Put me on a train and send me back Didn`t have no one to go on my bail Throw me back in the county jail
Judge and the jury took their stand Judge had the papers in his hand Forty-one days and forty-one nights Forty-one years just to wear them stripes
