Went out last night to take a little round.

I met my little Sadie and I brought her down.
6 -6 -7 7 6 -6 -6 -7 -7
I ran right home and I went to bed
6 -5 6 6 6 -5 6 -5 5 5 6
With a forty-four smokeless under my head.

6 -6 -6 -7 7 -6 -7 7 -7 7
I began to think what a deed I’d done.
6 -6 6 6 -5 -5 -5 5 5 -4
I grabbed my hat and I began to run.
6 -6 -6 -7 -7 -6 -7 7 -7 -6
I made a good run but I ran too slow;
6 -5 -5 5 5 -4 -4 -5 5 -4
They overtook me down in Jericho

6 -6 5 -5 6 -6 6 -7 -6 6 -7
Standing on a corner a ringin’ my bell,
6 6 -5 5 5 -4 -4 5 -4
Up stepped the sheriff from Thomasville.
6 6 -6 -6 -7 -7 -7 7
He said ‘Young man is you name Brown?
6 -6 6 -5 -5 5 5 -4 4 -4
Remember you blowed little Sadie down.”

6 -6 -7 6 -6 -7 7
“Oh yes sir, my name is Lee.
6 -6 -7 7 7 7 -7 -6 6 -5 5 -4
I murdered little Sadie in the first degree.
7 -7 7 6 -6 6 -6 6
First degree and second degree.
6 -6 6 -5-5 5 5 6 6 -5 -5 5 -4
If you’ve got any papers will you serve them to me?”

6 -6 6 -5 6 -5 5 5 6 -5 -5 5
Well they took me down town and they dressed me in black,
6 -6 6 6 -5 -5 6 -5 -5 5 -4
They put me on a train and they sent me back.
6 6 -6 6 6 -5 -5 5 -4
I had no one for to go my bail;
6 -5 -5 -5 5 5 6 -5 5 -4
They crammed me back into the county jail.
6 -6 6 -5
Oh, yes they did.

6 -6 6 6 -6 6 5 5 -5 6
The judge and the jury they took their stand.
6 -6 6 -5 5 5 6 5 -5 -4
The judge had the papers in his right hand.

Forty-one days, forty-one nights;

Forty-one years to wear the ball and the stripes;
