SADIE
As sung by Doc & Merle Watson on "Black Mountain Rag"

High on the hill sits a whippoorwill
Singin' out his old lonesome song.
Is it he or, I wonder, is it me?
For I've been away from Sadie too long.

CHORUS: Sadie, Sadie, oh, what a lady
Sadie, Sadie, oh, what a girl
Sadie, Sadie, oh, what a lady
Sadie, Sadie, Sadie, you're my world.

(break)

Oh, the scent of your hair and your pretty face so fair
Haunt me when I'm away from you
And those pretty eyes that say "I'll love you every day"
Turnin' all my stormy skies to blue. CHORUS

(break)

While the moon shines bright, will you meet me tonight
Under that old lonesome pine?
And I'll ask you till you tell me that you will
And that you'll forever be mine. CHORUS

- think it's written by T. Michael Coleman
