Shake Sugaree Lyrics - Singles - Elizabeth Cotten

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. 

Pawned my watch. 

Pawned my chain. 

Pawned 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. 

Pawned my buggy, 

horse and cat. 

Pawned 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. 

Pawned my chair. 

Pawned 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. 

Pawned my tobacco. 

Pawned 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 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. 

Pawned my farm. 

Pawned my plough. 

Pawned everything, even pawned my own cow. 

Oh, Lordy me. 

Didn't I shake sugaree? 

Everything I got is done and pawned. 

Everything I got is done and pawned. 

Pawned my hat. 

Pawned 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 nothing 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.
