[F]
[G]
When I last night take a little [Dm] round I met a little Sadie and I blowed her down
I [G] went home and I went to bed Put a .44
smokeless under my head
[F] [D] [C]
[G]
Woke up next morning about half past nine The [F] hacks and the buggies [G] waiting in line
The pimps and the gamblers hanging around I carried little Sadie to her burying ground
[A]
[G]
I was in the thick of what a deed I'd done I grabbed [F] my hat and away [D] I run
I made a [G] good run but I run too slow They overtook me down to Jericho
[F]
[D] [F] [G]
[G] Sat around the corner reading a [F] bill Up stood the sheriff from [D] Thomasville
He said, young man is [G] your name Brown?
You remember you blowed little Sadie down?
[F]
[D] [F] [Gm]
[G] I said, yes sir, my name is [F] Lee Murdered little Sadie [D] in the first degree
First degree, second [G] degree, Godly pairs won't you read them to me?
[Gm] [F]
[G]
Took me downtown, they dressed me in [F] black Put me on a train and they carried me [C] back
I had no one [G] to go with my bail They crammed me back in that county jail
[F]
[C] [Gm]
[G] Judges and the jury took their [F] stand The judge had the papers in [C] his right hand
Forty-one days, forty [G]-one nights Forty-one years to wear the ball and strive
[F] [D] [F] [G]
[Gm]
