Ever since she was a young girl

Little Sadie's made the news

From her style of country singing

To the blues

Now Sadie's hit the big time

And it's taken her away

To the city lights

Where she knows she's got to stay

Bye bye Sadie

Girl, don't you cry

Hide the tears behind a smile

Until the morning light (yeah)

Bye bye Sadie

Girl, don't you cry

It's much too late

Been a big mistake

So bye bye bye (bye)

Well, two years in the big time

Took her money and her pride

'Cause her looks had gone

And left her high and dry

The last we heard of Sadie

Well, she had no time to choose

Left her pining for the drinking

And the booze
