| [00:11.35] |
Went out one night for to make a little round |
| [00:13.73] |
I met little Sadie and I shot her down |
| [00:15.72] |
Went back home and I got in my bed |
| [00:17.80] |
Forty four pistol under my head |
| [00:20.50] |
Wake up next morning 'bout a half past nine |
| [00:32.11] |
The hacks and the buggies all standing in line |
| [00:35.89] |
Gents and the gamblers standing all round |
| [00:38.53] |
Taking little Sadie to her burying ground |
| [00:40.26] |
Then I begin to think what a deed I'd done |
| [00:42.39] |
I grabbed my hat and away I run |
| [00:47.68] |
Made a good run but a little too slow |
| [00:49.44] |
They overtook me in Jericho |
| [00:53.00] |
I was standing on the corner reading the bill |
| [00:56.01] |
When up stepped the sheriff from Thomasville |
| [00:58.20] |
He said young man ain't your name Brown |
| [01:00.46] |
Remember the night you shot Sadie down |
| [01:13.54] |
I said yes sir my name is Lee |
| [01:16.06] |
I murdered little Sadie in the first degree |
| [01:18.17] |
And first degree and the second degree |
| [01:20.13] |
If you got any papers won't you read 'em to me |
| [01:33.58] |
They took me downtown and dressed me in black |
| [01:38.77] |
Put me on the train and started me back |
| [01:40.54] |
They crammed me back in that Thomasville jail |
| [01:42.10] |
And I had no money for to go my bail |
| [01:56.56] |
That judge and the jury they took their stand |
| [02:00.30] |
The judge had the papers in his right hand |
| [02:01.96] |
Forty one days and forty one nights |
| [02:04.10] |
Forty one years to wear the ball and the stripes |
