[Intro]
N.C.
Went out one night to make a little round

Went back home, jumped into bed
N.C.
44 pistol under my head

[Verse]
Bm E
I woke up in the morning about half past nine
A F#m
The hacks and the buggies standing in line
Bm E
Gents and gamblers standing around
A F#m D Bm E
Taking little Sadie to her burying ground
Bm E
I began to think of what a deed I'd done
A F#m
I grabbed my hat and away I run

Made a good run, just a little too slow
A F#m D
They overtook me in jericho

Standing on the corner a reading a bill
A F#m
And up stepped the sheriff from Thomasville

He said miss is your name Brown

I said oh yes sir but my name is Lee
A F#m
And I murdered little Sadie in the first degree

First degree and second degree
A F#m D Bm E
Got any papers will you read 'em to me

So they took me downtown and dressed me in black

Put me on a train and started me back
