Sadie

In a world like today

It's rare to see young mothers like the ones

Who were around when I grew up

But they live on in memory to quite a few of us

And this song is dedicated to those of us

Who cherish that memory

Early one Sunday morning

Breakfast was on the table

There was no time to eat

She said to me, boy, hurry to Sunday school

Filled with her load of glory

We learned the Holy story

She'll always have her dreams

Despite the things this troubled world can bring

Oh, Sadie, don't you know we love you, sweet Sadie?

We love you, Sadie

(There's no one above you, sweet Sadie)

Well, well, well

(Livin' in the past)

Some times it seems so funny

No money will turn your life around

Sweeter than cotton candy

Stronger than papas old brandy

Always that needed smile, once in awhile

She would break down and cry

Some times she'd seem so happy, yeah, yeah

Just being with us and daddy

Standing the worst of times, breaking the binds

With just a simple song

Oh, Sadie, baby

(don't you know we love you, sweet Sadie?)

Oh, darlin'

(There's no one above you, sweet Sadie)

Sadie,

(Livin' in the past)

Ever since the beginnin'

It's her her love that was always winnin', oh

(Sadie)

Sadie, baby

(Don't you know we love you, sweet Sadie?)

Well, we love you, Sadie

(There's no one above you, sweet Sadie)

(Livin' in the past)

If there's a heaven up above

I know that she's teachin' angels how to love

(Sadie)

Mama, mama, mama, Sadie

(Don't you know we love you, sweet Sadie?)

My Sadie, may no

(There's no one above you, sweet Sadie)

Well, well, well

(Livin' in the past)

Isn't it funny that in the end

It's just the love that you gave us, oh Sadie

It's a mean world without you, yeah

(Don't you know we love you, Sweet Sadie)

I love you, mama

(There's no one above you, sweet Sadie)

I miss you, mama, yeah

(Livin' in the past)

Bring me a ...

Sometimes I'm feelin' so all alone

But I know I've to carry on

(Sadie)

It's a mean world without you

(Sadie)

But I know I got to go on

(My sweet Sadie)

It's what you wanted for me

(Livin' in the past)

Sweet Sadie, oh

(Sadie)

Oh

(Sadie)

I love u mama

(Sweet Sadie)

I can't forget your love

(Livin' in the past)
