Sadie

This song goes out to my mother

The one I love

And the one I lost

When it comes down to her

Thinkin' about what my mother's done for me

The love she's given me

Makes it easy to do a song like this

So this one's for you ma

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

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 papa’s 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

Oh, Sadie maiden

She's loving my song in a special way

Well, well, well

Sweet Sadie

Living in the past

Oh, she's never sinning

In love she's always winning, yeah

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

It's a mean world without you

And I surely miss you much, mother

And now that you're gone

I'm gonna carry on

'Cause you're cryin’, lady, whoa, Sadie

When I think about the things that you done for me

Hey, it brings a joy way down deep inside of me, yeah, whoa

See I love you, mama

Yes, I do

I'll never forget you mother

No, oh, ho, no, oh, ho
