[Bm]
[B] I woke up in the morning about half past [A] nine The hacks and the buggies standing [F#] in line
Jets and gamblers [D] standing around Taking little Sadie to her [Bm] burying ground
I began to think of what I'd do that time [A] I grabbed my hat and my [F#] way ahead run
Made a good run just a little too [D] slow They overtook [Em] me in [Bm] Jericho
[G] Standing [E]
[A] [Bm] in the corner reading a book [A] And I tapped the sheriff and [F#m] counselor
He said, and this is her name, right?
[D] Remember the night [Bm] you shot Sadie down?
I said, oh yes, sir, but my name is [A] Lee And I murdered little Sadie in the [F#m] first degree
First degree and second degree [D] Got any papers, will [Bm] you read them to me?
So he took me downtown and dressed me in black [A] Put me on a train and started [F#m] me back
All the way back to the Thomasville jail [Bm] Had no money for to go my way
