American Old Time Song Lyrics: 27 Sadie Ray
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 27
SADIE RAY.
Near a cool And shady woodland, where the rippling streamlets flow,
Dwelt a maiden, kind And lovely, but 'twas in the long ago.
Oft I kissed her and caressed her, as we danced the hours away;
Oft I told her that I loved her, but she's dead, my Sadie Kay.
Chorus.
Oft I kissed her and caressed her, as we danced the hours away;
Oft I told her that I loved her, but she's dead, my Sadie Kay.
When at eve the golden sunset ushered in the moon and stars,
Arm-in-arm we walked together to the gate of chestnut bars.
Here we talked of future pleasures, here I named our wedding day.
But. alas! 'tis long in coming, for she's dead, my Sadie Ray. Chorus.
In my dreams I see her smiling, far above the clear blue sky;
She a kneeling to the angels, who in groups are standing by.
Then, again, I hear her calling: "Come, my darling, come." I say.
There is room here for another, come and kiss your Sadie Kay." -CHORUS.
