Sugaree

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

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 would do no wrong

You 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 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

Well in spite of all you gained

You still have to stand out in the pouring rain

One last voice is calling you note a
And I guess it's time you go

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

Shake it shake it Sugaree

Shake it shake it Sugaree

Shake it shake it Sugaree

I'll meet you at the jubilee

And if that jubilee don't come

Maybe I'll meet you on the run

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

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
