[Verse 1]
Dm F Dm
Went out last night to take a look around
C Am
Met little Sadie and I blowed her down
C C
Went back home, and I got into bed
A7 Dm Dm
Forty-four smokeless under my head
[Verse 2]
Dm F Dm
Woke up the next morning about half past nine
C Am
The hacks and the buggies all standing in line
C C
The gents and the gamblers standing all around
A7 Dm Dm
Taking little Sadie to her burying ground
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Dm F Dm
Well I began to think what a deed I'd done
C Am
Grabbed my hat and away I run
C C
Made a good run, but a little too slow
A7 Dm Dm
They overtook me in Jericho
[Verse 4]
Dm F Dm
I'm standing on the corner reading a bill
C Am
Along came the sheriff from Thomasville
C C
Says "Young man, aint' your name Brown?
A7 Dm Dm
Remember the night you blowed Sadie down?"

Dm F Dm
Oh, yes sir, my name is Lee
C Am
I murdered little Sadie in the first degree
C C
First degree and the second degree
A7 Dm Dm
Got any papers would you read 'em to me
[Verse 6]
Dm F Dm
Well they took me downtown all dressed in black
C Am
Put me on the train and sent me back
C C
Sent me back to the county jail
A7 Dm Dm
I had nobody for to go my bail
[Instrumental]

[Verse 7]
Dm F Dm
The judge and the jury they took the stand
C Am
The judge held the paper in his right hand
C C
Forty-one days, forty-one nights
A7 Dm Dm
Forty-one years to wear the ball and stripes
