Little Sadie

[Chorus]
     Bm
Went out one night to make a little round
I met Little Sadie and I shot her down
Went back home, jumped into bed
                   Bm    D
.44 pistol under my  head

[Verse 1]
E D Bm D E
D  Bm
 I woke up in the morning about half past nine
    A                                 F#m
The hacks and the buggies standing in line
Gents and gamblers standing around
D                          E      Bm      D
Taking Little Sadie to her burying  ground
E D   Bm
  I began to think of what a deed I'd done
  A                           F#m
I grabbed my hat and away I'd run
Made a good run, just a little too slow
     D              E   Bm  D E   G Em A
They overtook me in Jericho,   mmm

[Verse 2]
Bm
Standing on the corner a-reading a bill
    A                                F#m
And up stepped the sheriff from Thomasville
He said "Miss, is your name Brown?
  D                        E  Bm        D
Remember the night you shot Sadie down?"
E        D   Bm
 I said, "Oh,  yes, sir,
but my name is Lee
      A                                        F#m
And I murdered Little Sadie in the first degree
First degree and second degree
D
Got any papers,
         E       Bm       D
will you read 'em  to me?"
E   D        Bm
 So they took  me downtown and dressed me in black
A                                F#m
Put me on a train and started me back
All the way back to the Thomasville jail
D                   E    Bm    D E D
Had no money for to go my  bail

[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
E D    Bm
   The judge and the jury,
they took their stand
The judge had the papers in his right hand
Forty-one days, forty-one nights
Forty-one years to wear the ball and stripes

[Chorus]
     Bm
Went out one night to make a little round
I met Little Sadie and I shot her down
Went back home, jumped into bed
D          E        Bm
.44 pistol under my head

[Outro]
