Little Sadie Crooked Still
[Intro]
N.C.
Went out one night to make a little round
N.C.
I met little Sadie and I shot her down
N.C.
Went back home, jumped into bed
N.C.
44 pistol under my head
[Bm] [E] [Bm] [E]
[Verse]
I w[Bm]oke up in the morning about h[E]alf past nine
The h[A]acks and the buggies st[F#m]anding in line
G[Bm]ents and gamblers s[E]tanding around
T[A]aking little S[F#m]adie to her b[D]urying ground[Bm] [E]
I b[Bm]egan to think of what a d[E]eed I'd done
I gr[A]abbed my hat and [F#m]away I run
M[Bm]ade a good run, just a[E] little too slow
They [A]overtoo[F#m]k me in j[D]ericho
[Bm] [E] [G] [A]
[Verse]
St[Bm]anding on the corner a r[E]eading a bill
And up [A]stepped the sheriff from T[F#m]homasville
H[Bm]e said miss is yo[E]ur name Brown
R[A]emember the [F#m]night you sh[D]ot Sadie down[Bm] [E]
I said oh[Bm] yes sir but my name [E]is Lee
And I mu[A]rdered little Sadie in the [F#m]first degree
F[Bm]irst degree and se[E]cond degree
G[A]ot any papers [F#m]will you r[D]ead 'em to me[Bm] [E]
So they t[Bm]ook me downtown and dr[E]essed me in black
P[A]ut me on a train and s[F#m]tarted me back
A[Bm]ll the way back to the Th[E]omasville jail
H[A]ad no m[F#m]oney for to [D]go my bail[Bm] [E] [Bm] [E]

[Verse]
The [Bm]judge and the jury they to[E]ok their stand
The j[A]udge had the papers in [F#m]his right hand
[Bm]Forty one days, fo[E]rty one nights
F[A]orty one yea[F#m]rs to wear the b[D]all and stripe[Bm]s[E]
[Outro]
W[Bm]ent out one night to m[E]ake a little round
I m[A]et little Sadie and I [F#m]shot her down
