Shake Sugaree Songtext

Shake Sugaree Songtext
Have a little song
Won′t take long
Sing it right
Once or twice
Oh, lordy me
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Pawn my watch
Pawn my chain
Pawn everything that was in my name
Oh, lordy me
Didn′t I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Pawn by buggy
Horse and cart
Pawn everything that was on my lot
Oh, lordy me
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Pawn my chair
Pawn my bed
Ain't got nowhere to lay my head
Oh, lordy me
Didn′t I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Pawn my tobacco
Pawn my pipe
Pawned everything that was in my sight
Oh, lordy me
Didn′t I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Have a little secret
I ain't gonna tell
I′m going to heaven in a brown pea shell
Oh, lordy me
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Pawn my farm
Pawn my plough
Pawned everything, even pawned my old cow
Oh, lordy me
Didn′t I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Pawn my hat
Pawn my shoes
Pawned everything that I could use
Oh, lordy me
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Have a little secret
I ain′t gonna tell
I'm goin' to heaven and I ain′t goin′ no
Oh, lordy me
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Chew my tobacco
Spit my juice
We raise cain but it ain′t a bit 'a use
Oh, lordy me
Didn′t I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Won′t take long
Sing it right
Once or twice
Oh, lordy me
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Pawn my watch
Pawn my chain
Pawn everything that was in my name
Oh, lordy me
Didn′t I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Pawn by buggy
Horse and cart
Pawn everything that was on my lot
Oh, lordy me
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Pawn my chair
Pawn my bed
Ain't got nowhere to lay my head
Oh, lordy me
Didn′t I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Pawn my tobacco
Pawn my pipe
Pawned everything that was in my sight
Oh, lordy me
Didn′t I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Have a little secret
I ain't gonna tell
I′m going to heaven in a brown pea shell
Oh, lordy me
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Pawn my farm
Pawn my plough
Pawned everything, even pawned my old cow
Oh, lordy me
Didn′t I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Pawn my hat
Pawn my shoes
Pawned everything that I could use
Oh, lordy me
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Have a little secret
I ain′t gonna tell
I'm goin' to heaven and I ain′t goin′ no
Oh, lordy me
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned

Oh, lordy me
Didn′t I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
