Little Sadie Doc Watson
This a very simple version. The recording from 'Live At Gerdes Folk City' is
extremely complex, but these are the basic chords.

Verse 1
[Dm]Went out last night to ta[F]ke a look around
[Dm]Met little Sadie and I bl[C]owed her down
C (Hammer Am7-C) C
Went back home, and i got into bed
[A7]Forty-four smokeless under my head
Verse 2
[Dm]Woke up the next morning [F]about half past nine
[Dm]The hacks and the buggies[C] all standing in line
C (Hammer Am7-C)
The gents and the gamblers standing all around
[A7]Taking little Sadie to her burying ground
Verse 3
Well I began to think what a deed I'd done
Grabbed my hat and away I run
Made a good run, but a little too slow
They overtook me in Jericho
Verse 4
I'm standing on the corner reading a bill
Along came the sheriff from Thomasville
Says "Young man, aint' your name Brown?
Remember the night you blowed Sadie down?"
Verse 5
Oh, yes sir, my name is Lee
I murdered little Sadie in the first degree
First degree and the second degree
Got any papers woould you read 'em to me
Verse 6
Well they took me downtown all dressed in black
Put me on the train and sent me back
Sent me back to the county jail
I had nobody for to go my bail
Verse 7
The judge and the jury they took the stand
The judge held the paper in his right hand
Forty-one days, forty-one nights
Forty-one years to wear the ball and stripes
Break - Put it in where you please.
