Greg Brown Shake Sugaree Lyrics

Shake Sugaree Lyrics

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 foir 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 teel,

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.

Haver a little song and it won't take
long

I
