Mark Lanegan - Little Sadie Lyrics
TraditionalWent out last night, take a little roundMet little sadie and I blowed her downThen I run right home and went to bedWith a forty-four smokeless under my headThe girls all heard little sadie was deadThey went home to be ragged in redCome a slippin and a slidin down the streetIn their loose mother hubbards and their stocking feetWell I began to think what a deed Id doneGrabbed my hat and I started to runI made a good run just a little too slowAnd they overtook me in jerichoStanding on the corner reading a billUp stepped the sheriff of thomasvilleSaid young man is your name lee brown?Remember the night you blowed sadie down?Yes I said my name is leeI murdered little sadie in a first degreeFirst degree and a second degreeIf ya got any papers, read em to meTook me downtown, dressed me in blackPut me on a train and send me backDidnt have no one to go on my bailThrow me back in the county jailJudge and the jury took their standJudge had the papers in his handForty-one days and forty-one nightsForty-one years just to wear them stripes
