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
