crooked still - little sadie (hbo season 2) lyrics

[chorus]
went out one night to make a little round
i met little sadie and i shot her down
went back home, jumped into bed
.44 pistol under my head

[verse 1]
i woke up in the morning about half past nine
the hacks and the buggies standing in line
gents and gamblers standing around
taking little sadie to her burying ground
i began to think of what a deed i’d done
i grabbed my hat and away i’d run
made a good run, just a little too slow
they overtook me in jericho

[verse 2]
standing on the corner a+reading a bill
and up stepped the sheriff from thomasvillе
he said “miss, is your name brown?
remеmber the night you shot sadie down?”
i said, “oh, yes, sir, but my name is lee
and i murdered little sadie in the first degree
first degree and second degree
got any papers, will you read ’em to me?”
[verse 3]
so they took me downtown and dressed me in black
put me on a train and started me back
all the way back to the thomasville jail
had no money for to go my bail

[instrumental break]

[verse 4]
the judge and the jury, they took their stand
the judge had the papers in his right hand
forty+one days, forty+one nights
forty+one years to wear the ball and stripes

[chorus]
went out one night to make a little round
i met little sadie and i shot her down
went back home, jumped into bed
.44 pistol under my head

[instrumental outro]
