In Search Of Little Sadie - Bob Dylan

Went out last night to take a little round.\nI met my little Sadie and I brought her down.\nI ran right home and I went to bed\nWith a forty-four smokeless under my head.\nI began to think what a deed I’d done,\nI grabbed my hat and I began to run.\nI made a god run but I ran too slow;\nThey overtook me down in Jericho\nStanding on a corner ringin' my bell,\nUp stepped the sheriff from Thomasville.\nHe said «Young man is you name Brown?\nRemember the night you blowed Little Sadie down.»\n«Oh, yes sir, my name is Lee.\nI murdered little Sadie in the first degree.\nFirst degree and second degree,\nIf you’ve got any papers will you serve them to me?»\nWell they took me down town and they dressed me in black.\nThey put me on a train and they brought me back.\nI had no one for to go my bail;\nThey crammed me back into the county jail.\nThe judge and the jury they took their stand.\nThe judge had the papers in his right hand.\nForty-one days, forty-one nights;\nForty-one years to wear the ball and the stripes.
