La chanson raconte l'histoire tragique d'un homme qui, après une nuit de fête, commet l'irréparable en tuant une jeune fille nommée Sadie. Le lendemain matin, il découvre les conséquences de son acte, alors que la communauté se rassemble pour l'enterrer. Pris de panique, il tente de fuir, mais il finit par être arrêté par le shérif qui le confronte à son crime. Son procès s'ensuit, et il est condamné à purger une longue peine de réclusion. Cette narration illustre les thèmes du chagrin, de la culpabilité et des conséquences de nos actes. Elle évoque également un certain contexte rural et historique, typique de la culture américaine, où les conflits et les drames personnels peuvent mener à des tragédies irrémédiables.
