I Am MosesMuzek: November 2010

(Verse 1)

Country Lady Sadie, lately you been on my mind,

Got me contemplatin' relocatin' back down south sometime.

Cuz this northern hustlin' city life, ain't quite my cup-o-tea,

Shaded willow trees with you, out by the lake's where I should be.

I remember life was simple, had my Sadie next to me,

Till my line of work called me up north, so I set my Sadie free.

But it's only now I see, the only time I'm really me,

Is standin' next to she... My country lady Sadie...

(Chorus)

Fried chicken, collard greens and cornbread, sweet potatoes too.

Sweet lemonade and country shade and summertime with you.

We'll make love in fields of sweet magnolia, like we used to do.

Comin' back for my baby, my Sadie...

(Verse 2)

Now I done heard it from your cousin, ain't nobody caught your eye,

I wonder if your number's changed, I'm gon' give it a try.

I left my heart in Georgia and i can't remember why,

But now I'm coming back to tell her she's the peach of my eye...

{Deep and dirty south, yeeeeeah}

And thats how it should be,

I just hit I-85 and the peach trees welcome me.

I pray she takes me in her arms an takes me in her world,

Cuz i won't be with any other lady but my Sadie, baby...

(Chorus 2x)

(Breakdown 6x)

Sweet lady I’m on my way, I’m comin’ home to my love.

Said that I'm doin' 80, I'm drivin' crazy, comin' home to my Sadie

(Breakdown II 4x)

Sweet country Lady Sadie. O how I miss you Sweet country Sadie, Baby...
