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 for 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 tell, 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. I have a little song and it won't take long...
