Sugaree Lyrics - The Jerry Garcia Collection, Vol. 2: Let It Rock - Jerry Garcia

When they come to take you down 

When they bring that wagon around 

When they come to call on you 

And drag your poor body down 

Just one thing I ask of you 

There's just one thing for me 

Please forget you knew my name 

My darlin' Sugaree 

Shake it, shake it Sugaree 

Just don't tell them that you know me 

Shake it, shake it Sugaree 

Just don't tell them that you know me 

You thought you was the cool fool 

And never could do no wrong 

Had everything sewn up tight 

How come you lay awake all night long? 

Just one thing I ask of you 

There's just one thing for me 

Please forget you knew my name 

My darlin' Sugaree 

Shake it, shake it Sugaree 

Just don't tell them that you know me 

Shake it, shake it Sugaree 

Just don't tell them that you know me 

Well, in spite of all you gained 

You still had to stand out in the pouring rain 

One last voice is calling you 

And I guess it's time you go 

Just one thing I ask of you 

There's just one thing for me 

Please forget you knew my name 

My darlin' Sugaree 

Shake it, shake it Sugaree 

Just don't tell them that you know me 

Shake it, shake it Sugaree 

Just don't tell them that you know me 

Well, shake it up now Sugaree 

I'll meet you at the jubilee 

And if that jubilee don't come 

Maybe I'll meet you on the run 

Just one thing I ask of you 

There's just one thing for me 

Please forget you knew my name 

My darlin' Sugaree 

Shake it, shake it Sugaree 

Just don't tell them that you know me 

Shake it, shake it Sugaree 

Just don't tell them that you know me 

Shake it, shake it Sugaree 

Just don't tell them that you know me 

Shake it, shake it Sugaree 

Just don't tell them that you know me
