Sadie
Lyricist:Bruce Hawes, Joseph Banks Jefferson, Charles B. Simmons
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, ‽Boy, hurry to Sunday schoolâ€
Filled with her load 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) Well, well, well (Living in the past) Some times it seems so funny (Ooh, ooh, ooh) But 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 Just being with us and Daddy Standing the worst of times Breaking the binds with just a simple song

Well, well, well (Place no one above you) Sweet Sadie (Sweet Sadie, livin' in the past)
Living in the past Oh, she's never sinnin' (Ooh, ooh, ooh) In love, she's always winnin', yeah
(Sadie) My, my, my, my, my (Don't you know we love you?) I love you, mama (Sweet Sadie, place no one above you) I just can't forget (Sweet Sadie)
How you gave me love, oh, Lord (Living in the past) If there's a heaven up above (Ooh, ooh, ooh) I know she's teaching angels how to love
(Sadie) It's a mean world without you (Don't you know we love you? Sweet Sadie) All the love you showed (Place no one above you)
Oh, I could never, ever doubt her lovely word (Sweet Sadie, living in the past) Ain't it funny that in the end it's not money (Ooh, ooh, ooh) It's just the love you gave us all (Sadie)
