Chords for Hedy West - Little Sadie

This is a song from the coal mining region.
I learned it about a year ago in Hippo, Kentucky.
It's a very tiny little town [A#] from a man who's lived on PA, that's public [D#]
assistance, now for about seven years.
He's been too poor to buy a banjo, but he borrowed mine and played this song for me.
It's one of the many American murder ballads, it's Little Sadie. _
[F#] It's both sometimes found in Negro and white tradition.
_ And this is the way Hobart Bailey played the banjo.

_ I went out last night and I made my round
Says I met Little Sadie and I shot her down
_ _ Says I went back home _ _ _ _ and went to bed
_ _ Says I went _ back home and I went to bed
Says I stuck [C#] my pistol right [F#] under my head
Says I begun to think _ [A] on the crime [F#] I'd done
_ Says I begun to think _ on the crime I'd done
Says [G#] I grabbed my hat and I started to run
_ [F#] _
I made a pretty good run, _ _ but a little too slow _ _
I made a pretty _ good run, but a little too slow
[F#m] Said the sheriff overtook me, done and bloody [F#] more
_ _ I'm standing on the corner _ _ just reading a bill
_ _ Said standing on the _ corner just reading a bill
Up [F#m] stalked the sheriff from the [F#] evening
_ _ _ Young man, young _ man, _ is your name Brown?
_ _ _ Young man, young _ man, is your name Brown?
I believe you're the man shot your woman down
No _ sir, no sir, _ my [C#m] name is Robert [F#] E.

If you've got any papers, don't read them to me _ _
I left from the train _ all painted in black

Said they [F#m] arrested me, kicked me [G#] back
_ _ [F#m] _ Early [F#] next _ morning, _ put on my boots
_ I got up early next _ morning, put on my boots
Said they sent me down to Frankfurt to wear the straddle _ _
