lyrics

SISTER SADIE’S BLUES (INTIMACY OF THE BLUES)
( Billy Strayhorn, Lyrics by Lu Olutosin)

IT STARTED IN BACK OF THE CHURCH HOUSE DEACONS WERE TALKING 'BOUT
STUFF THAT THEY GOT INTO LAST-NIGHT WHEN SISTER SADIE SHE PASSED BY, WEARING THAT CUTE DRESS
THAT HAD HER LOOKING SO REAL FINE THEY LET OUT A SCREAM (Good Laud)
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN

TOOK IT ON DOWN TO THE JUKE-JOINT WHERE THEY WAS SWINGING
DOING THE THINGS THAT GROWN FOLKS CAN SAW SISTER SADIE START DANCING
THAT’S WHEN I KNEW WHY
THE GOOD LORDY MADE ME A REAL MAN
I LET OUT A SCREAM (Oooo Wee!)
HAVE MERCY ON ME

Vocalese solo- BLUES SO FINE, LIVING IN THE RECESS OF YOUR MIND
COME JOURNEY WITH ME, THERE’S NO TURNING BACK LET YOUR CONSCIOUS BE YOUR GUIDE
SHE’S GOT ATTITUDE, FOR EVERYONE, BLUES FOR EVERY MOOD
REALLY, SHE’S TRAVELED ALL OVER, SINCE THE FIRST SHIP CAME TO DOCK IN THE BAY, BLUES SO COMFORTING, SO SOOTHING THAT EVEN THE J-U-D-G-E OBEYS
DON’T YOU FRET CAUSE THE BLUES HAS GOT YOUR NUMBER AND ITS CALLING ON YOU, ARE YOU GOING TO ANSWER?
