Sadie?s Song
Pretty boy, my faithless fallen angel
Took me completely in his arms
In his eyes, I saw Eden?s garden
But the serpent lay hidden in his charms
Well I used to love to sing with the sunlight in my hair
Til that fateful day when I followed him there
He said, climb, little Sadie higher
Spread them downy wings and fly
You will find your crown of gilded glory next to mine
Climb, little Sadie, climb
Icy winds up on Lookout Mountain
Chilled two bodies to the bone
But for that man, I did gladly lay down my back
Upon a bed of stone
Well I used to love to sing with the sunlight in my hair
Til that fateful day when I followed him there
Something?s wrong, I heard my voices whisper
I heard ?em whisper something?s wrong
A single shot, he said, ?Fare thee well, Sadie?
The round was cold, my breath was gone
Well I used to love to sing with the sunlight in my hair
Til that fateful day when I followed him there
