Lyrics to Sadie
(spoken)
In a world like today, it's a rare occasion
To be able to see young mothers like the ones
That were around when I grew up.
But they live on in memory to quite a few of us.
And this song is dedicated
To those who cherish that memory.
Early one Sunday morning,
Breakfast was on the table.
There was no time to eat
She said to me, â??Boy hurry to Sunday School.â?
Filled with the Lord of Glory,
We learned the holy story.
She'll always have her dreams,
Despite the things this troubled world can bring.
Oh, Sadie, don't you know we love you, sweet Sadie?
Place no one above you, sweet Sadie.
Living in the past,
Sometimes it seems so funny
No money will turn your life around.
Sweeter than cotton candy,
Stronger than papa's old brandy.
Always that needed smile,
Once in awhile, she would break down and cry.
Sometimes she'd be so happy.
Being with us and daddy.
Standing the worst of times,
Breaking the binds with just a simple song.
Oh, Sadie May, don't you know we love you, sweet Sadie?
Place no one above you, sweet Sadie.
Living in the past.
Oh, she never sinning, in love she's all winning.
I just can't forget how you gave me love,
If there's a heaven up above,
I know she's teaching angels how to love.
It's a mean world without you,
All the love you showed,
How could anyone ever doubt you loved the world?
Ain't it funny that in the end it's not money,
It's just the love you gave us all.
Why do the good leave so soon?
I don't know.
And though the people say they love my songs,
Oh Lord, I'm all alone.
I miss her so.
I love you mama,
Let me just try, just try one more time
And say although we were very poor,
She tried to love us that much more .
Have you ever, have you ever met Sadie?
The premier of ladies.
Oh, sometimes I feel so alone,
But I know that I gotta go on.
It's what she wanted for me.
I know it's gonna be hard sometimes.
Oh Sadie!
But although my mama's no longer here,
Her memory still brings us near.
Why you wanna make me feel so down?
This feeling won't let me be.
I'm gonna keep on movin',
I'm gonna try to keep groovin'.
