lyrics

She's a saint and the devil the same
Part woman, part hurricane
But I come running when she's calling my name
That brown eyed Sadie Green
I'd run a mile just to watch her walk
Climb right up a mountain top
For sweet good-time-honkey-tonkin'
Brown eyed Sadie Green

Said, a gypsy woman, gotta vamp around
She'll leave your coals so red hot burning
Got to turn your damper down
She's arose that rambles, and a juke joint queen
Ain't no woman around her ever held no candle to brown eyed Sadie Green

She makes the fireman ring his bell
Just might combust she wears her dress so well
But she ain't no Jezebel, that brown eyed Sadie Green
She'll make your thermostat mercury rise
But don't go foolin' with no pilot light
Cause she's a powder keg of dynamite that brown eyed Sadie Green

Said, a gypsy woman, gotta vamp around
She'll leave your coals so red hot burning
Got to turn your damper down
She's arose that rambles, and a juke joint queen
Ain't no woman around her ever held no candle to brown eyed Sadie Green

She was born and raised so fine, baptized in champagne wine
I ain't got nothin' but I know where it went
Cause a brown eyed girl gets your money all spent

She got no pearls or no diamonds to wear
She turn her nose up at a millionaire
Say what you want about her, she don't care
That brown eyed Sadie Green
She don't care much about your silver or gold
She's hard to handle but shes heaven to hold
And the man who doesn't love her surely never been told about brown eyed Sadie Green

Said, a gypsy woman, gotta vamp around
She'll leave your coals so red hot burning
Got to turn your damper down
She's arose that rambles, and a juke joint queen
Ain't no woman around her ever held no candle to brown eyed Sadie Green

Pine Street Ramblers image

Pine Street Ramblers Auburn, California

Hailing from the Sierra Nevada Foothills, Pine Street Ramblers are a string band performing American roots music. Their high energy sound is a refreshing take on the typical modern string-band; their live show is a raucous powerhouse that deftly showcases their songwriting prowess in the context of foot stompin' good times and remarkable collective instrumental chops. ... more
