Shake Sugaree Songtext
von Rhiannon Giddens

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 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 bike
Pawn 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, ain′t gonna tell
I'm goin′ 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

Have a little secret, ain′t gonna tell
I'm goin′ to Heaven, and it ain't gone
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
