Shake Sugaree - Elizabeth Cotten/Brenda Evans

Lyrics by：Elizabeth Cotten

Composed by：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

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 by buggy

Horse and cart

Pawn 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

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 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 going 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

Pawn my farm

Pawn my plough

Pawned everything even pawned my old cow

Oh lordy me

Didn't I shake sugaree

Everything I got is done and pawned

Everything I got is done and pawned

Pawn my hat

Pawn 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 a bit '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
