In a world like today

Its 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

Shell always have her dreams

Despite the things this troubled world can bring



Oh, Sadie

Dont 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 papas old brandy

Always that needed smile

Once in awhile she would break down and cry



Some times shed 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)

Dont you know we love you (Shell 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, shes never sinnin

In love shes always winnin, yeah



Sadie (My, my, my, my, my)

Dont you know we love you (I love you, mama)

Sweet Sadie

Place no one above you (I just cant forget)



Sweet Sadie (How you gave me love, oh, Lord)

Living in the past

If theres a heaven up above

I know shes teaching angels how to love



Sadie (Its a mean world without you)

Dont you know we love you

Sweet Sadie (All the love you showed)

Place no one above you (
