They say she was a preacher
Spoke the gospels soft and low
'Cause it came from her heart, you know
She could make wrong men cry
Bring the spire to the sunken glide
Saving sinners' souls was her life
Sadie, Sadie, Sadie the Savior
And although I was very small
The way she moved my soul
To this day I can still recall
Through the eyes of a child
I saw God for a little while
Good Lord, she had a heavenly style
Sadie the Savior, dear girl
Tell me where have you gone
Sadie the Savior, yes girl
And left us here to strive
They say she had a vision
That she would need her Maker
And He would take her to the star
So if I'm looking in the sky
And you see a twinkle in that eye
No one's really shining so high
So if I'm looking in the sky
And you see a twinkle in my eye
No one's really shining so high
(Sadie) oh, Sadie, old lady
(Sadie) is that old lady Sadie
(Sadie) i just don't remember a girl
Sadie, hey hey (Sadie, the Savior)
