Shake Sugaree (2) / Banjo Story, Rattler 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.
