Lyrics

Got 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
Let's shake sugaree now
Pawn my chair
Pawn my bed
Ain't got nowhere
For 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
Got 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
Shake it
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
But I can't these old blues
Oh, Lordy me
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Here we go
Got 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
Everything I got is done and
