Lyrics Sugaree - Grateful Dead

Sugaree

When they come to take you down
When they bring that wagon 'round
When they come to call on you
And drag your poor body down
Just one thing I ask of you
Just one thing for me
Please forget you knew my name
My darling, Sugaree
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
Just don’t tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
Just don’t tell them that you know me
You thought you was the cool fool
And never would do no wrong
You had everything sewed up tight
How come you lay awake all night long
Just one thing I ask of you
Just one thing for me
Please forget you knew my name
My darling, Sugaree
Well, in spite of all you gained
You still have to stand out in the pouring rain
One last voice is calling you
And I guess it’s time you go
Just one thing I ask of you
Just one thing for me
Please forget you knew my name
My darling, Sugaree
Well, shake it up now, Sugaree
I’ll meet you at the jubilee
And if that jubilee don’t come
Maybe I’ll meet you on the run
Just one thing I ask of you
Just one thing for me
Please forget you knew my name
My darling, Sugaree
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
Just don’t tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
Just don’t tell them that you know me
