Sadie

This goes out to my mother

The one I love

And the one I lost

When it comes down to

Thinking about what my mother has done for me

The love she's given makes it easy to do a song like this

So this one's for you, ma

I love you

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 the Lord 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

Living in the past

Sometimes she sing for me

Nobody can turn your life for love

Sweeter than cotton candy

Stronger than Papa's old brandy

Always that needed smile

Once in a while she would break down and cry

Some times she'd be so happy

Being with us and Daddy

Standing the word of time

Breaking the vines

With just a simple song

Oh Sadie

Don't you know we love you, sweet Sadie

(she's loving us all in a special way, well well well well)

Place no one above you, sweet Sadie (sweet, Sade)

Living in the past

Oh, she's never sinning

In love she's always winnin, yeah

Sadie (my, my, my, my, my)

Don't you know we love you sweet Sadie (I love you mama)

Place no one above you sweet Sadie

(I just can't forget how you gave me love, oh Lord)

If there's heaven up above

I know she's teaching niggas how to love

Sadie (It's a mean world without you)

Don't you know we love you sweet Sadie

(and surely miss you much, mother)

Place no one above you sweet Sadie

And now that your gone

I'm gonna carry on

Cause your quite a lady, whoa Sadie

When I think about the things that you've done for me

Hey

It brings a joy way down, deep inside of me

Whoa

See I love you momma

Yes I do

I'll never for get you momma

Never
