|
They say she was a preacher |
|
Spoke the gospels soft and low |
|
Nobody had to teach her |
|
'Cause it came from her heart, you know |
|
She could make wrong men cry |
|
Bring the spire to the sunken glide |
|
Saving sinners' souls was her life |
|
Sweet Sadie the Savior |
|
Sadie, Sadie, Sadie the Savior |
|
I saw her on a Sunday |
|
And although I was very small |
|
The way she moved my soul |
|
To this day I can still recall |
|
Through the eyes of a child |
|
I saw God for a little while |
|
Good Lord, she had a heavenly style |
|
Sweet Sadie the Savior |
|
Sadie the Savior, dear girl |
|
Tell me where have you gone |
|
Sadie the Savior, yes girl |
|
Now you've left us alone |
|
You knew the answers |
|
To the questions of life |
|
You took the answers |
|
And left us here to strive |
|
They say she had a vision |
|
She was gonna travel far |
|
That she would need her Maker |
|
And He would take her to the star |
|
So if I'm looking in the sky |
|
And you see a twinkle in that eye |
|
No one's really shining so high |
|
Sweet Sadie the Savior |
|
So if I'm looking in the sky |
|
And you see a twinkle in my eye |
|
No one's really shining so high |
|
Sweet Sadie the Savior |

(Sadie) |
|
Oh, Sadie, old lady |
|
(Sadie) |
|
Is that old lady Sadie |
|
(The Savior) |
|
(Sadie) |
|
Sadie |
|
(Sadie) |
|
I just don't remember a girl |
|
(The Savior) |
|
Talking of Sadie |
|
(Sadie) |
|
Sadie, hey, hey |
|
(Sadie, the Savior) |
|
(Sadie) |
|
Sadie... |
