Lyrics

Have a little song, won't take long
Sing it right, once or twice
Oh, lordy me
Didn't I shake that sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Pawn my watch, pawn my chain
Pawn everything that was in my name
Pawn my chair, pawn my bed
Ain't got nowhere to lay my head
Pawn my tobacco, pawn my pipe
Pawned everything that was in my sight
Pawn my farm
Pawn my plough
Pawned everything, even my cow
