Shake Sugaree Songtext
von Willy DeVille

I′ve got a secret
I ain't gonna tell
I′m goin' to heaven in a split pea shell
Oh, Lordy me, didn't we shake sugaree
Everything I have is down in pawn

I pawned my watch, an′ I pawned my chain
ashamed
Oh, Lordy me, didn′t we shake sugaree
Everything I have is down in pawn


I've got a song to sing
Ain′t very long
I'm gonna sing it right if it take me all night long
Oh, Lordy me, didn′t we shake sugaree
Everything I have is down in pawn

I've got a secret
I ain′t gonna tell
I'm goin' to heaven in a split pea shell
Oh, Lordy me, didn′t we shake sugaree
Everything I have is down in pawn
