Shake Sugaree Lyrics – Elizabeth Cotten

Singer: Elizabeth Cotten
Title: Shake Sugaree

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
