Sadie G, Oh, Sadie G
What have you done to me?
You smiled at me and talked so sweet
And then you brought me to my knees.
You broke my heart in two when you said we could never be.
Sadie G, Oh, Sadie G
What have you done to me?

The first time that I saw you
I got all choked up inside.
The second time I saw you
I vowed you’d be my bride…
But the third time that i saw you was the time I almost died
It tore me all to pieces when we said our last goodbye

And all I ever seem to do is think about you
And thinkin’ makes me wanna drink.
If I wind up in the gutter
Ain’t no tellin’ how low I’ll sink.
Well, a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do
Just to keep a woman off his mind
But Sadie G, Oh, Sadie G
You’re takin’ your sweet time.

Sadie G, Oh, Sadie G
You better lay off that moonshine.
Sadie, baby, better take it on back…
Take it back to Carolina.
The way you’re built there ain’t no doubt
You are a rounder’s dream
But it ain’t no use to court you
Cause you’re just too doggone mean.

And all I ever seem to do is think about you
And thinkin’ makes me wanna drink.
If I wind up in the gutter
Ain’t no tellin’ how low I’ll sink.
Well, a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do
Just to keep a woman off his mind
But Sadie G, Oh, Sadie G
You’re takin’ your sweet time.

Sadie G, Oh, Sadie G
Love’s made a fool of me.
Every time I try to kiss you
You try to cause a scene.
You will. You won’t.
You do. You don’t.
You beat all I’ve ever seen.
Pardon me, Miss Sadie G
but won’t you let my poor heart be

Cause all I ever seem to do is think about you
And thinkin’ makes me wanna drink.
If I wind up in the gutter
Ain’t no tellin’ how low I’ll sink.
Well, a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do
Just to keep a woman off his mind
But Sadie G, Oh, Sadie G
You’re takin’ your sweet time.
Sadie G, Oh, Sadie G
You’re takin’ your sweet time.
Sadie G, Oh, Sadie G
You’re takin’ your sweet time.
Mama, take your own sweet time.
