Keep The Lamp On Sadie

Keep The Lamp On Sadie


Keep the lamp On Sadie let it shine leave it on so I can see
Keep the lamp on Sadie let it shine so I can find my way from the fields back to you

I know we need to talk things over
I know things haven’t gone so good,
So keep the lamp on Sadie let it shine
So I can find my way back home to you

Its been a rough year for the things we are pullin’
And the bank is bugging us about what’s due
And I know it worries you because its showing
But right now there’s not too much we can do.

I’m gonna need you by my side so Sadie let’s survive and fight this thing til the bitter end

So keep the Lamp on Sadie let it shine so I can find my way back home to you.

We Got an Uncle in St. Louis who just might help us,
Get over this dry spell we have now
We can sell a couple of things we have no need for,
And that will help us get our feet back on the ground.

But if you leave me I don’t think I can manage so Sadie keep the lamp on if you can

Keep the Lamp on Sadie let it shine so I can find my way back home to you
So keep the Lamp on Sadie let it shine so I can find my way back home to you
