Sadie Lyrics - Singles - The Spinners

In a world like today 

It's 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 

She'll always have her dreams 

Despite the things this troubled world can bring

Oh, Sadie 

Don't 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 papa's old brandy 

Always that needed smile 

Once in awhile she would break down and cry 

Some times she'd 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) 

Don't you know we love you (she'll 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, she's never sinnin' 

In love she's always winnin, yeah 

Sadie (My, my, my, my, my) 

Don't you know we love you (I love you, mama) 

Sweet Sadie 

Place no one above you (I just can't forget) 

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

Living in the past 

If there's a heaven up above 

I know she's teaching angels how to love 

Sadie (It's a mean world without you) 

Don't you know we love you 

Sweet Sadie (all the love you showed) 

Place no one above you (oh, I could never, ever doubt her lovely word) 

Sweet Sadie 

Living in the past 

Ain't it funny that in the end it's not money 

It's just the love you gave us all
