LYRICS

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

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

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

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

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

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
