Letra de
Sugaree

Sugaree fue compuesta por Jerry Garcia y Robert Hunter, miembros de la banda Grateful Dead. La canción fue escrita para el primer álbum solo de Jerry Garcia en 1972, Garcia.

When they come to take you down
when they bring that wagon 'round
When they come to call on you
and drag your poor body down

Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name, my darling sugaree
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me

You thought you was the cool fool
and never could do no wrong
Had everything sewed up tight.
how come you lay awake all night long

Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name, my darling sugaree
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me

Well in spite of all you had gained
you still had to stand out in the pouring rain
One last voice is calling you
and I guess it's time you go

Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name, my darling sugaree
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me

Well shake it up now sugaree,
I'll meet you at the jubilee
and if that jubilee dont come
well i'll meet you on the run

Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name, my darling sugaree
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me
