Grateful Dead - Little Sadie Lyrics
Went down last night to take a look aroundMet little Sadie and I blew her down, went right home, went to bedForty-four colt smokes under my headAnd I began to think what a deed I'd doneGrabbed my hat and away I run, made a good run, but a little too slowThey overtook me in JerichoI'm standin' on the corner ringin' the bellAlong came the sheriff from ThomasvilleSays "Young man, your name's Brown,Remember the night you blew Sadie down?"Oh, yes sir, my name is Lee,I murdered little Sadie in the first degreeFirst degree and the second degreeGot any papers won't you read 'em to me.They took me downtown all dressed in blackPut me on the train and sent me backSent me back to the county jail, I had nobody to go for my bailThe judge and the jury they took the standThe judge hold the paper in his right handForty-one days, forty-one nights,Forty-one years to wear the ball and stripes
