I have a little song and it won't take long

And I'll sing it right once or twice-

Oh Lordy me, didn't I shake sugaree

Everything I got is in the pawn.

Everything I got.

Pawned my chair and I pawned my bed,

and ain't got no place to lay my head.

Oh Lordy me, didn't I shake sugaree

Everything I got is in the pawn

Everything I got.

Grow my tobacco and I spit my juice-

Well I would raise cain, but it ain't a bit of use

Oh Lordy me, didn't I shake sugaree

Everything I got is in the pawn.

Everything I got.

Pawned my tobacco and I pawned my pipe,

pawned everything that was in my sight.

Oh Lordy me, didn't I shake sugaree

Everything I got is in the pawn.

Everything I got.

I'm going sailing in a wooden shoe

looking foir a star I could tell my troubles to

Oh Lordy me, didn't I shake sugaree

Everything I got is in the pawn.

Everything I got.

First star to the right and it's straight on 'til morn,

I never saw such such night since I was born.

Oh Lordy me, didn't I shake sugaree

Everything I got is in the pawn.

Everything I got.

Have a little secret; I ain't going to tell,

I'm going to heaven in a brown pea shell.

Oh Lordy me, didn't I shake sugaree

Everything I got is in the pawn.

Everything I got.

Pawned my horse and I pawned my plow.

pawned everything, even pawned my old milk cow.

Oh Lordy me, didn't I shake sugaree

Everything I got is in the pawn.

Everything I got.

Have a little secret and I ain't going to teel,

I'm going to heaven and I'm not going to ....

Oh Lordy me, didn't I shake sugaree

Everything I got is in the pawn.

Everything I got.

Haver a little song and it won't take long

I
