Shake Sugaree |
| I have a little song and it won’t take long |
| And I’ll sing it right once or twice- |
| Oh Lordy me, didn’t I shake sugaree |
| Everything I got is in the pawn |
| Everything I got |
| Pawned my chair and I pawned my bed |
| And ain’t got no place to lay my head |
| Oh Lordy me, didn’t I shake sugaree |
| Everything I got is in the pawn |
| Everything I got |
| Grow my tobacco and I spit my juice- |
| Well I would raise cain, but it ain’t a bit of use |
| Oh Lordy me, didn’t I shake sugaree |
| Everything I got is in the pawn |
| Everything I got |
| Pawned my tobacco and I pawned my pipe |
| Pawned everything that was in my sight |
| Oh Lordy me, didn’t I shake sugaree |
| Everything I got is in the pawn |
| Everything I got |
| I’m going sailing in a wooden shoe |
| Looking foir a star I could tell my troubles to |
| Oh Lordy me, didn’t I shake sugaree |
| Everything I got is in the pawn |
| Everything I got |
| First star to the right and it’s straight on 'til morn |
| I never saw such such night since I was born |
| Oh Lordy me, didn’t I shake sugaree |
| Everything I got is in the pawn |
| Everything I got |
| Have a little secret; |
| I ain’t going to tell |
| I’m going to heaven in a brown pea shell |
| Oh Lordy me, didn’t I shake sugaree |
| Everything I got is in the pawn |
| Everything I got |
| Pawned my horse and I pawned my plow |
| Pawned everything, even pawned my old milk cow |
| Oh Lordy me, didn’t I shake sugaree |
| Everything I got is in the pawn |
| Everything I got |
| Have a little secret and I ain’t going to teel |
| I’m going to heaven and I’m not going to … |
| Oh Lordy me, didn’t I shake sugaree |
| Everything I got is in the pawn |
| Everything I got |
| Haver a little song and it won’t take long |
| I’ll sing it right, sing it all night long |
| Oh Lordy me, didn’t I shake sugaree |
| Everything I got is in the pawn. |
| Everything I got |
