I had a girl named Sadie, and she used to call me baby, now she don't
I gave her lots of money now she's callin' someone else on the phone
I told her that I love her and that no one else would ever rise above
A shot in the dark and a knife through the heart is not enough
Oh Sadie, oh no
Oh Sadie, oh no
The last time I saw her and I told her I would call her but I won't
Her voice is enough to give me a lump in my throat
I'm cuttin' off the strings 'cause I think I've had enough
Oh Sadie, oh no
Oh Sadie, oh no
I'm finally on my own and I think I'm gonna be alright
No more reason to sit at home, cuss and fight
I'm not gonna think who was wrong, or who was right
Oh Sadie, oh no
Oh Sadie, oh no
I had a girl named Sadie and she used to call me baby, now she don't
