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
