-Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo-
-Whoo, whoo, whoo- (3x)

I hate to have to tell you ‘bout the news
Seems like no one else has got the heart
You must have been away a little while
Now I don’t know where to start

Everybody knew that Sadie loved you
And everybody loved to hear her sing
No one wants to say what happened on that day
I guess you’ll have to keep that diamond ring

Chorus
Don’t bother comin’
Don’t bother callin’
Don’t bother waiting at the door
Don’t bother listenin’
Don’t bother lookin’
Sadie won’t be singing anymore

It happened on a Sunday afternoon
And no one thought to tell her not to go
She’d been to town so many times before
Over Thompson bridge and the river down below

Why it had to be that very moment
The timbers had to suddenly give way
No one was around
It was later that we found
Her body in the water cold and gray - ay ay

Chorus
Don’t bother comin’
Don’t bother callin’
Sadie won’t be singing anymore
Don’t bother listenin’
Don’t bother lookin’
Sadie won’t be singing anymore

-Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo-
-Whoo, whoo, whoo- (3x)
