Lyrics

Sadie

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

This is an old song

These are old blues

And this is not my tune

But it's mine to use

And all that I want and all that I need

And all that I've got is scattered like seed

And all that I know is blowing away from me

Yeah, all that I know is blowing like tumbleweed

Sadie, white coat

Carry me home

Bury this bone

Take this pinecone

Please, bury this bone

To gnaw on it later

Gnawing on the telephone

'Til then, we will suspend

The notion that these lives will never end

And all day long we talk about mercy

Lead me to water Lord, I sure am thirsty

And I'm down in the ditch where I almost served you

Up in the clouds where he almost heard you

And I'm down where I darn with the milk-eyed mender

You and I, and a love so tender,

And all that we built and all that we breathed,

And all that we spilt or pulled up like weeds

Is piled up in back and it burns irrevocably

And all that I know is blowing like tumbleweed

This is an old song

These are old blues
