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.
