[00:00.320] |
Went out one night to make a little round |
[00:03.210] |
I met Little Sadie and I shot her down |
[00:05.300] |
Went back home, jumped into bed |
[00:08.490] |
44 pistol under my head |
[00:18.790] |
I woke up in the morning about half past nine |
[00:21.490] |
The hacks and the buggies standing in line |
[00:22.890] |
Gents and gamblers standing around |
[00:25.490] |
Taking little sadie to her burying ground |
[00:30.890] |
I began to think of what a deed I'd done |
[00:33.790] |
I grabbed my hat and away I did run |
[00:36.290] |
Made a good run, just a little too slow |
[00:37.390] |
They overtook me in jericho |
[00:48.290] |
Standing on the corner a reading a bill |
[00:50.390] |
And up stepped the sheriff from Thomasville |
[00:51.290] |
He said miss is your name brown |
[00:54.390] |
Remember the night you shot sadie down |
[00:59.290] |
I said oh yes sir but my name is lee |
[01:02.390] |
And i murdered little sadie in the first degree |
[01:04.290] |
First degree and second degree |
[01:06.390] |
Got any papers will you read 'em to me |
[01:12.290] |
So they took me downtown and dressed me in black |
[01:14.390] |
Put me on a train and started me back |
[01:17.290] |
All the way back to the thomasville jail |
[01:19.390] |
Had no money for to go my bail |
[01:57.290] |
The judge and the jury they took their stand |
[01:59.390] |
The judge had the papers in his right hand |
[02:01.290] |
Forty one days, forty one nights, |
[02:04.390] |
Forty one years to wear the ball and stripes |
[02:07.290] |
Went out one night to make a little round |
[02:09.390] |
I met Little Sadie and I shot her down |
[02:11.290] |
Went back home, jumped into bed |
[02:13.390] |
44 pistol under my head |
[02:18.390] |
