1. Little Sadie (2:41) (Featured track for consideration of "Just Folking Around")
I went out last night to take a little round
Met little Sadie and I shot her down
Went back home, got into bed
44 smokeless under my head

I got up the next morning bout half past nine
the coaches and the buggies all waiting in line
Pimps and the gamblers standing around
They're gonna carry little Sadie to her burying ground

I got to thinking about what a deed I'd done
Grabbed my hat and away I run
Made a good run but a little too slow
They overtook me in Jericho

Well I was standing on a corner just a-reading the bill
When up jumped the sheriff from Thomasville
He said young man ain't your name Brown
Remember the night you shot Sadie down

And I said yes sir, but my name is Lee
And I shot little Sadie in the first degree
First degree or the second degree
If you've got any papers won't you read them to me

And then they took me downtown and dressed me in black
Put me on the train, started me back
All the way back to that Thomasville jail
I had nobody for to go my bail

And then the judge and the jury they took their stand
The judge had the papers in his right hand
Forty one days, forty one nights
Forty one years to wear the ball and stripes

I went out last night to take a little round
Met little Sadie and I shot her down
Went back home, got into bed
44 Smokeless under my head
