C majorC G+G
C majorC G+G
Sadie the cleaning lady
G+G C majorC
With trusty scrubbing brush and pail of water
FF C majorC A7A7
Worked her fingers to the bone for the life she had at home
D7D7 G7G7
Providing at the same time for her daughter

Ah Sadie the cleaning lady
G+G C majorC
Her aching knee's not getting any younger
FF C majorC A7A7
Well her red detergent hands have for years not held a mans
D7D7 G7G7
And time would find her hard in spite of hunger

Scrub your floors, do your chores, dear old Sadie

Though as gentle as a lamb, Sam the elevator man
D#7D#7 G#7G#7
So she could spend the night by TV napping
