     Dm        F                     Dm
Went out last night to take a look around

C                                  Am
Met little Sadie and I blowed her down

C                   C
Went back home, and I got into bed

A7                            Dm        Dm
Forty-four smokeless under my head

     Dm           F                       Dm
Woke up the next morning about half past nine

    C                                      Am
The hacks and the buggies all standing in line

    C                                     C
The gents and the gamblers standing all around

A7                                  Dm      Dm
Taking little Sadie to her burying ground

     Dm           F                    Dm
Well I began to think what a deed I'd done

C                         Am
Grabbed my hat and away I run

C                       C
Made a good run, but a little too slow

A7                        Dm    Dm
They overtook me in Jericho

     Dm              F                Dm
I'm standing on the corner reading a bill

   C                                Am
Along came the sheriff from Thomasville

      C                     C
Says "Young man, aint' your name Brown?

   A7                                Dm      Dm
Remember the night you blowed Sadie down?"

Dm      F                Dm
Oh, yes sir, my name is Lee

C                                       Am
I murdered little Sadie in the first degree

C                    C
First degree and the second degree

A7                                   Dm    Dm
Got any papers would you read 'em to me

          Dm      F                        Dm
Well they took me downtown all dressed in black

C                                Am
Put me on the train and sent me back

C                   C
Sent me back to the county jail

A7                          Dm   Dm
I had nobody for to go my bail

    Dm            F                   Dm
The judge and the jury they took the stand

    C                                 Am
The judge held the paper in his right hand

C                C
Forty-one days, forty-one nights

A7                                   Dm      Dm
Forty-one years to wear the ball and stripes
