Bob Dylan Little Sadie song lyrics

I went out last night to take a little round

I met my Little Sadie and I brought her down

I ran right home and I went to bed

With a forty-four smokeless under my head

I went out last night to take a little round

I met my Little Sadie and I brought her down

I ran right home and I went to bed

With a forty-four smokeless under my head

I began to think what a deed I'd done

I grabbed my hat and the way I've run

I made a good run but I ran too slow

They overtook me down in Jericho

Standin' on a corner, ringin' my bell

Up stepped Sheriff from Thomasville

He said, "Young man is you name Brown?

Remember the night that you blowed Little Sadie down"

"Oh yes, Sir, my name is Lee

I murdered Little Sadie in the first degree

First degree and second degree

You got any papers, will you serve 'em to me?"

Took me down town and they dressed me in black

They put me on a train and they brought me back

I had no one to go my bail

Crammed me back into the county jail

Judge and jury took their stand

Judge had the papers in his hand

Forty-one days, forty-one nights

Forty-one years to wear the ball and stripes
