Greg Graffin - Little Sadie lyrics
[Greg Graffin - Little Sadie lyrics]
Went out last night to take a little round
I met a little Sadie and I blowed her down
Bummed a ride home, got in to bed
44 smokeless under my head
I began to think what the deed I'd done
Grabbed my hat and away'd I run
Made a good run just a little too slow
(they) overtook me in Jericho
Standin' on the corner, ringin' the bell
Up walks the sheriff from Thomasville
Says "young man is your name Brown? 'Member
That night you shot Sadie down?"
Oh, yes sheriff my name is Lee
I murdered little Sadie in the first degree
First degree, second degree
If you got any papers you can read 'em to me
Took me downtown, dressed me in black
Put me on a train and they sent me back
Had no one for to go my bail
(they) crammed me back in the county jail
Judge and the jury took their stand
The judge held the paper in his right hand
41 days, 41 nights
41 years to wear the ball and the stripes
I met a little Sadie and I blowed her down
Bummed a ride home, got in to bed
44 smokeless under my head
I began to think what the deed I'd done
Grabbed my hat and away'd I run
Made a good run just a little too slow
(they) overtook me in Jericho
Standin' on the corner, ringin' the bell
Up walks the sheriff from Thomasville
Says "young man is your name Brown? 'Member
That night you shot Sadie down?"
Oh, yes sheriff my name is Lee
I murdered little Sadie in the first degree
First degree, second degree
If you got any papers you can read 'em to me
Took me downtown, dressed me in black
Put me on a train and they sent me back
Had no one for to go my bail
(they) crammed me back in the county jail
Judge and the jury took their stand
The judge held the paper in his right hand
41 days, 41 nights
41 years to wear the ball and the stripes
