Sadie's Got Her New Dress On - Doyle Lawson, Quicksilver

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
