Remember the night you blowed Sadie down? Yes I said my name is Lee I murdered little Sadie in a first degree First degree and a second degree If ya got any papers, read 'em to me Took me downtown, dressed me in black Put me on a train and send me back Didn't have no one to go on my bail Throw me back in the county jail Judge and the jury took their stand Judge had the papers in his hand Forty-one days and forty-one nights Forty-one years just to wear them stripes Together Again Buck Owens Together again My tears have stopped falling The long lonely nights Are now at an end The keys to my heart You hold in your hand And nothing else matters We're together again Together again The grey skies are gone You 're back in my arms Now where you belong The love that I knew Is living again And nothing else matters We're together again And nothing else matters We're together again Shanty Man's Life Steven Harrison Paulus *note:it has been said that the version of this song done by Dave Van Ronk is the one that inspired Lanegan to record it. A shanty man's life Is a wearisome one Though some say it's free from care It's the swinging of an axe From morning 'till night In the forest wild and drear Transported as we are From a lady so fair To the banks of some lonely stream Where the wolf, bear, and owl Give a terrifying howl And disturb our nightly dreams Oh sleeping at night In our bunks without cheer While the cold winter winds do blow But as soon as the morning Star does appear To the wild woods we must go Had we ale, wine, or beer Our spirits far to cheer When we're in those woods so wild Where a glass of whiskey shone When we're in the woods alone For to pass away our long exile A shanty man's life Is a wearisome one Tho some say it's free from care It's the swinging of an axe From morning 'till night In the forest wild and drear Boogie Boogie Tim Rose Boogie boogie boogie now Boogie boogie boogie now Boogie boogie boogie now Boogie boogie everybody boogie now Boogie boogie boogie now Boogie boogie boogie now Boogie boogie boogie now Boogie boogie everybody boogie now
