|
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 |
|
|
|
[Chorus] |
|
Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me |
|
Please forget you knew 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 |
|
You had everything sewed up tight. How come you lay awake all night long |
|
|
|
[Chorus] |
|
|
|
Well in spite of all you 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 |
|
|
|
[Chorus] |
|
|
|
Well shake it up now Sugaree, I'll meet you at the jubilee |
|
And if that jubilee fall through, maybe I'll meet you on the run |
|
|
|
[Chorus] |
|
|
|
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me [Repeat: x2] |
