BlueSage Lyr Req: Ashley's 1933 2nd verse to Little Sadie (4) Lyr Req: Ashley's 1933 2nd verse to Little Sadie 31 Dec 07


I've been try to decipher the 2nd verse to Clarence Ashley's 1929 version of "Little Sadie" and I'm stuck on one word. I need some other "ears" to help me out...

I woke next morning at half-a past nine
The buggies and hacks all (missing word) in line.
The gents and the gamblers standin' around
A gonna take Sadie to her burying ground

The word sounds like "sloughed", but this doesn't make any sense. Any other ideas?
