Sugaree

1. 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

R: 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

2. 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

R: Just one thing I ask of you...

3. 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

R: Just one thing I ask of you...

4. 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

R: Just one thing I ask of you...

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
