Black Strap Sadie

Well there were two old sweethearts
 In the north
 Who dressed in plaid and paisley
 And they raised a child with long black hair
 Whose name was Black Strap Saidie
 And when she spied the man from across the sea
 She was riding upon her pony
 And he threw his gun and his satchel on his side
 And rode along behind her
 She said as I know your eyes are blue
 Just like two pools of diamonds
 You may know and do my heart is ever true
 Long as it keeps on beating
 But if those eyes should turn to glass
 Or mine turn inward blindly
 You may have to hold
 My hand in yours
 And given ever kindly
 But if those hands should lose their touch
 Or be lost in some misfortune
 You may have a child
 From within my womb
 To go and be our tribute
 But if that child we should outlast
 Or draw no breath in this world
 You may know that we are born to die
 And I'll love you while we're living
 And he said make no promises
 Keep your word
 And you may treat me rightly
 And with a kiss
 He hushed her charming tongue
 And held on ever tightly
 And there were two old sweethearts
 In the north
 Who rode one pinto pony
 And within the earth
 They sleep beneath the trees
 Blue eyed man
 And Black Strap Saidie
