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 song goes out to my mother - The one I loved and the one I
lost - When it
comes down to thinking about what my mother's done for me, the
love she's given
me. - It makes it easy to do a song like this - So this ones for
you mom I love
you
Early one Sunday morning / Breakfast was on the table / There
was no time to
eat / She said to me boy hurry to Sunday school / Filled with
the long of glory
we learned the holy story / She'll always have her dreams /
Despite the things
/ This troubled world can bring.
CHORUS
Oh Sadie don't you know we love you sweet Sadie
Place No one above you sweet Sadie
Well Well Well
Living in the past
Sometimes it seems so funny, no money can turn your life around
Sweeter than cotton candy / Stronger than papas' 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
CHORUS
Oh Sadie - She's Loving my song in a special way - Sweet Sadie -
Living in the
Past - Oh she's never sinning in Love she's always winnin - my
my my my my - I
love you mama - I just can't forget how you gave me love oh no -
If there's a
heaven up above I know she's teaching angels how to love - Its a
mean world
without ya - and I surely miss you much mother - and now that
your gone I'm
gonna carry on - Cause your cryin lady - ooh sadie - When I
think about the
things that you done for me - Hey it brings a joy way down deep
inside of me -
oh oh oh oo oh - See I love you mama - Yes I do - I'll never
forget you mama no
oh oh oh
