Sadie Paroles

I hate to have to tell you ‘bout the news

Seems like no one else has got the heart

You must have been away a little while

Now I don’t know where to start



Everybody knew that Sadie loved you

And everybody loved to hear her sing

No one wants to say what happened on that day

I guess you’ll have to keep that diamond ring


Don’t bother callin’

Don’t bother waiting at the door

Don’t bother listenin’

Don’t bother lookin’

Sadie won’t be singing anymore



It happened on a Sunday afternoon

And no one thought to tell her not to go

She’d been to town so many times before

Over Thompson bridge and the river down below



Why it had to be that very moment

The timbers had to suddenly give way

No one was around

It was later that we found

Her body in the water cold and gray - ay ay



Chorus

Don’t bother comin’

Don’t bother callin’

Sadie won’t be singing anymore

Don’t bother listenin’

Don’t bother lookin’

Sadie won’t be singing anymore



-Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo-

-Whoo, whoo, whoo- (3x)
