In a world like today
It's a rare occasion to be able
To see young mothers like the ones
That were around when I grew up
But they live on in memory to quite a few of us
And this song is dedicated to those who cherish that memory
Early one Sunday morning
Breakfast was on the table
There was no time to eat
She said to me
"Boy, hurry to Sunday school"
Filled with a lot of glory
We learned the holy story
She'll always have her dreams
Despite the things
This troubled world can bring
Oh Sadie
Don't you know we love you, sweet Sadie
Place no one above you, sweet Sadie
Well, well, well
Living in the past
Sometimes it seems so funny
No money will turn your life around
Sweeter than cotton candy
Stronger than Papa's old brandy
Always that needed smile
Once in a while
She would break down and cry
Sometimes she'd be so happy
Skiing with us and Daddy
Standing the worst of times
Breaking the binds
With just a simple song
Oh Sadie Mae
Don't you know we love you, sweet Sadie
Still loving us all in your special way
Well, well, well
Place no one above you, sweet Sadie
Living in the past
Oh, she's never sinning
In love she's always winning, yeah
Sadie
My my my my my
Don't you know we love you, sweet Sadie
I love you, girl
Place no one above you, sweet Sadie
I just can't forget how you gave me love, oh Lord
Living in the past
If there's a heaven up above
I know she's teaching angels how to love
Sadie
It's a mean world without you
Don't you know we love you, sweet Sadie
All the love you showed
Place no one above you, sweet Sadie
Oh, has it anyone ever doubt your love, well, well
Living in the past
Ain't it funny that in the end it's not money
It's just the love you gave us all
Sadie
Well, well
Don't you know we love you, sweet Sadie
