Went out last night, take a little round
Met little Sadie and I blowed her down
Then I run right home and went to bed
With a 44 smokeless under my head
Them girls all heard little Sadie was dead
They went home to be ragged in red
Come a slippin' and a slidin' down the street
In their loose mother hubbards and their stocking feet
Well, I began to think what a deed I'd done
Grabbed my hat and I started to run
I made a good run just a little too slow
And they overtook me in Jericho
ย
Standing on the corner reading a bill
Up stepped the sheriff of Thomasville
Said, "Young man is your name Lee Brown?
Remember the night you blowed Sadie down?"
"Well, yes," I said, "My name is Lee
I murdered little Sadie in a first degree
First degree and a second degree
If ya got any papers, read 'em to me"
Took me downtown, dressed me in black
Put me on a train and send me back
Didn't have no one to go on my bail
Throw me back in the county jail
ย
Judge and the jury took their stand
Judge had the papers in his hand
41 days and 41 nights
41 years just to wear them stripes
