Sadie Ray - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
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.
