Sadie - Single Version

In a world like today
 It's a rare occasion to be able
 To see young mothers like the ones
 That 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 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
 Place no one above you
 Sweet Sadie (well, well, well)
 Living in the past
 Some times it seems so funny
 But no money will turn your life around
 Sweeter than cotton candy
 Stronger than papa's old brandy
 Always that needed smile
 Once in awhile she would break down and cry
 Some times she'd be so happy
 Just being with us and daddy
 Standing the worst of times
 Breaking the binds with just a simple song
 Oh, Sadie (oh, Sadie, baby)
 Don't you know we love you (she'll love us all in a special way)
 Sweet Sadie (well, well, well)
 Place no one above you
 Sweet Sadie (sweet Sadie livin' in the past)
 Living in the past
 Oh, she's never sinnin'
 In love she's always winnin, yeah
 Sadie (My, my, my, my, my)
 Don't you know we love you (I love you, mama)
 Sweet Sadie
 Place no one above you (I just can't forget)
 Sweet Sadie (how you gave me love, oh, Lord)
 Living in the past
 If there's a heaven up above
 I know she's teaching angels how to love
 Sadie (It's a mean world without you)
 Don't you know we love you
 Sweet Sadie (all the love you showed)
 Place no one above you (oh, I could never, ever doubt her lovely word)
 Sweet Sadie
 Living in the past
 Ain't it funny that in the end it's not money
 It's just the love you gave us all
