"Sweet Sadie The Savior" lyrics - BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS

They say she was a preacher
Spoke the gospels soft and low
Nobody had to teach her
'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
Sweet Sadie the Savior

Sadie, Sadie, Sadie the Savior

I saw her on a Sunday
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
Sweet Sadie the Savior

Sadie the Savior, dear girl
Tell me where have you gone
Sadie the Savior, yes girl
Now you've left us alone

You knew the answers
To the questions of life
You took the answers
And left us here to strive

They say she had a vision
She was gonna travel far
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
Sweet Sadie the Savior

So if I'm looking in the sky
And you see a twinkle in my eye
No one's really shining so high
Sweet Sadie the Savior

(Sadie)
Oh, Sadie, old lady
(Sadie)
Is that old lady Sadie
(The Savior)

(Sadie)
Sadie
(Sadie)
I just don't remember a girl
(The Savior)

Talking of Sadie
(Sadie)
Sadie, hey, hey
(Sadie, the Savior)

(Sadie)
Sadie...
