Bob Dylan — In Search of Little Sadie

[Verse 1] Went out last night just to take a little round I met my little Sadie and I brought her down I ran right home and I went to bed With a .44 smokeless under my head [Verse 2] I began to think what a deed I done I grabbed my head and I began to run I made a good run but I run too slow They overtook me down in Jericho [Verse 3] Standin’ on the corner as he's ringin' my bell Up stepped the sheriff of Thomasville He says, "Young man is your name Brown? Remember you blowed little Sadie down?" [Verse 4] "Oh, yes sir my name is Lee I murdered little Sadie in first degree" "First degree and second degree If you got any papers, will you serve them to me." [Verse 5] Well they took me downtown and they dressed me in black They put me on a train and they sent me back I had no one for to go my bail They crammed me back into the county jail Oh yes they did [Verse 6] Now 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 with the ball and stripes, oh no [Verse 7] Went out last night to take a little round I met my little Sadie and I blowed her down I run right home and I went to bed A .44 smokeless under my head
