Well, Sadie's momma told her,
You're nearly twenty one,
It's time to find a man and settle down,
She prettied up her Auburn hair,
Put on her best perfume,
Then headed for the dance down town.
[chorus]
Oh, Sadie's got her new dress on, Lord Lord
Sadie's got her new dress on,
Her momma's done and said,
She's old enough to wed,
Sadie's got her new dress on.
Hey, look yonder comin' Charlie Taylor said
I've never seen a girl with eyes that green,
But Sadie Rose just pat him on the head,
And dance a jig with Billy Dean.
[chorus]
Oh, Sadie's got her new dress on, Lord Lord,
Sadie's got her new dress on,
Her momma's done and said,
She's old enough to wed,
Sadie's got her new dress on.
[Bridge]
Well, Bobby said Billy I can't believe my eyes,
The Sadie Rose is looking mighty fine,
Then Billy said to Bobby I was lookin' at her too,
And I'll be the one to make her mine.
[chorus]
Oh, Sadie's got her new dress on, Lord Lord
Sadie's got her new dress on
Her momma's done and said,
She's old enough to wed
Sadie's got her new dress on
Oh, Sadie's got her new dress on, Lord Lord
Sadie's got her new dress on,
Her momma's done and said,
She's old enough to wed,
Sadie's got her new dress on.
[Spoken]
Hey, look over there, Dole, Sadie's got her new dress on
Ah, she's alookin' good tonight, Jamie. Move ol' Billy outta the way. I believe she's looking at you.
I sure hope so.
Yea, Sadie's got her new dress on.
