Shake Sugaree (1) Lyrics


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.

Elizabeth "Libba" Cotten (January 5, 1893 – June 29, 1987) was an American blues and folk musician, singer, and songwriter.
A self-taught left-handed guitarist, Cotten developed her own original style. Her approach involved using a right-handed guitar (usually in standard tuning), not re-strung for left-handed playing, essentially, holding a right-handed guitar upside down. This position required her to play the bass lines with her fingers and the melody with her thumb. Her signature alternating bass style has become known as "Cotten picking".
