  28 Went out last night just to take a little round.
  29   F#
  30 I met my little Sadie and I brought her down.
  31   G#
  32 I ran right home and I went to bed
  33        A
  34 With a forty-four smokeless under my head.
  35
  36 A
  37 I began to think what a deed I'd done.
  38
  39 I grabbed my hat and I began to run.
  40
  41 I made a god run but I ran too slow;
  42                          Bb
  43 They overtook me down in Jericho
  44
  45 F
  46 Standing on a corner I's ringin' my bell,
  47                             F#
  48 Up stepped the sheriff from Thomasville.
  49    G                            G#
  50 He says 'Young man is your name Brown?
  51                                         C#m
  52 Remember you blowed Sadie down.&quot;
  53
  54 [from this point there is some kind of regular rhythm]
  55
  56     C#m
  57 &quot;Oh yes sir, my name is Lee.
  58 G#m
  59   I murdered little Sadie in the first degree.
  60 F#m
  61   First degree and second degree.
  62           Bm                      F#
  63 If you've got any papers will you serve them to me?&quot;
  64
  65           D                          A
  66 Well they took me down town and they dressed me in black,
  67      G                          D
  68 They put me on a train and they sent me back.
  69                     A
  70 I had no one for to go my bail;
  71      G                        D               |: Dsus4 D Dsus2 D   :|
  72 They crammed me back into the county jail.
  73
  74 Oh, yes they did.
  75
  76          C
  77 Now, the judge and the jury they took their stand.
  78     F                           Fm
  79 The judge had the papers in his right hand.
  80 C               Am
  81 Forty-one days, forty-one nights;
  82 F         Fm
  83 Forty-one years to wear the ball and the stripes;
  84
  85 Oh, no!
  86
