Lyrics
The judge and the jury they took their stand, i murdered little sadie in the first degree Little, standing on a corner a ringin my bell
Yes they did, i ran right home and i went to bed Sadie, forty-one years to wear the ball and the stripes
I grabbed my hat and i began to run, forty-one nights
i grabbed my hat and i began to run
A forty-four smokeless under my head, the judge and the jury they took their stand
The judge and the jury they took their stand, went out last night to take a little round
I had no one to go my bail, i met my little sadie and i brought her down
i met my little sadie and i brought her down
i grabbed my hat and i began to run
They overtook me down in jericho, they overtook me down in jericho
my name is lee
I ran right home and i went to bed, well they took me down town and they dressed me in black
I made a god run but i ran too slow, forty-one years to wear the ball and the stripes Little, went out last night to take a little round
The judge had the papers in his right hand, they put me on a train and they sent me back
went out last night to take a little round
i ran right home and i went to bed
i made a god run but i ran too slow
first degree and second degree
I met my little sadie and i brought her down, i made a god run but i ran too slow
Remember you blowed sadie down., yes they did
Forty-one days, with a forty-four smokeless under my head Little, remember you blowed sadie down.
first degree and second degree
I had no one to go my bail, the judge had the papers in his right hand Little, they put me on a train and they sent me back
Forty-one years to wear the ball and the stripes, a forty-four smokeless under my head Scott, they crammed me back into the county jail
standing on a corner a ringin my bell
I began to think what a deed i d done, i began to think what a deed i d done
my name is lee
Standing on a corner a ringin my bell, forty-one years to wear the ball and the stripes
Standing on a corner a ringin my bell, they overtook me down in jericho, yes they did
The judge had the papers in his right hand, i ran right home and i went to bed
My name is lee, i met little sadie and i blowed her down Little, forty-one years to wear the ball and the stripes
they overtook me down in jericho
they overtook me down in jericho
If you ve got any papers will you serve them to me?, they crammed me back into the county jail Sadie, went out last night to take a little round
Yes they did, they crammed me back into the county jail, yes they did
if you ve got any papers will you serve them to me?
Forty-one days, forty-one nights, a forty-four smokeless under my head
I made a god run but i ran too slow, they put me on a train and they sent me back
yes they did
Forty-one days, the judge and the jury they took their stand
My name is lee, they put me on a train and they sent me back
If you ve got any papers will you serve them to me?, up stepped the sheriff from thomasville Little, if you ve got any papers will you serve them to me?
With a forty-four smokeless under my head, i began to think what a deed i d done, they put me on a train and they sent me back
