I'm a wanted man in Dallas, I'm wanted up in Tennessee
The sheriff kept me running, but there wasn't no catching
me
Till I spent too long in Georgia, should've left there,
yes I know
I should have left there the first time my baby said "you
better go"
Sadie,
get the judge his whiskey, that's the only way I won't hang
Sadie, get the judge his whiskey, that's the only way on
Judgement Day
I'm
singing this song from years ago 'cause it keeps coming
around
No disguise, no reason why I still lay my money down
In a bad dream once it vanished like a window broken in
the night
And the verdict of the Lord was ringin' out, it was shinin'
in the pale moonlight
Sadie,
get the judge his whiskey, that's the only way I won't hang
Sadie, get the judge his whiskey, that's the only way on
Judgement Day
I'll
follow my drummer in a blaze of glory, go marching out when
he goes
Wander down that lost highway, a vagabond on the road
It was daybreak in Alabama, I saw a window broken in the
night
I wasn't gonna stay more than one more day, I'll be leaving
in the pale moonlight
Sadie,
get the judge his whiskey, that's the only way I won't hang
Sadie, get the judge his whiskey, that's the only way on
Judgement Day
I'm
a wanted man in Dallas, I'm wanted up in Tennessee
The sheriff kept me running, but there wasn't no catching
me
Till I spent too long in Georgia, should've left there,
yes I know
I should have left there the first time my baby said "you
better go"
Sadie,
get the judge his whiskey, that's the only way I won't hang
Sadie, get the judge his whiskey, that's the only way on
Judgement Day
