The good Lord looked down and saw me lonely and loveless. And He thought to Himself, "Enough is enough. I'm putting

Sarah in Coalhouse's life."

(sung)

And he did

(spoken)

This wasn't a woman. This was an angel. She was a gift of God. Coalhouse loved this woman, but not wisely and not too well. She left me without a trace. There was no pity for me

None at all, Coalhouse. 

Call me a fool

Oh yes, I was

Now she is haunting me

Just like a melody—

The only song I seem to know

Sarah, my life has changed

Sarah, I miss you so

Sarah, I did you wrong

Sarah, where did you go?

(spoken)

I asked everywhere. Knocked on many doors. And then this morning, the miracle happened. Yeah, I found out where she is and I'm going to do my damnedest to see she takes me back. Ladies and gentlemen, the Gettin' Ready Rag! Come on!

Gettin' Ready Rag

That's it, that's it. Alright. 

Gettin' Ready Rag

Gettin', Gettin'

Gettin' Ready Rag

Anything it takes

Anything you need

Gotta find your girl, Coalhouse

And win her back

Sarah, my life has changed

Sarah, I'll make it so

You'll take one look at me

Somehow I know you'll know
