Jim Croce - Sadie Green (The Vamp of New Orleans)

Sadie Green was the vamp of New Orleans
She had more beaus than the navy had marines
And when she starts to dance, oh gee
Mama, oh, mama, pin a rose on me
She make the bald men tear out their hair
Hold her [Newt?] so she don't [Rare?]

Since this dancin' baby came to town
Well, she turned old New Orleans upside-down
Oh boy, what a match
Great big eyes and feet to match
Sadie Green, what a queen, the vamp of New Orleans
