Sugaree Songtext
von Emory Joseph

Here′s the thing
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
There′s just one thing I ask of you
It's 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, you thought you was the cool fool
Never could do no wrong, no
You had everything sewn up tight
How come you lay awake all night long?
There′s just one thing I ask of you
It's just one thing for me
Please forget you knew my name
My darling, my darling Sugaree

Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
Just don′t tell them that you know me, no
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me

You know in spite of all you gained
You still had to stand out in the pouring rain
It′s pouring out, babe
One last voice is calling you
Guess it's time you go
There′s just one thing I ask of you
It's just one thing for me
Please forget you knew my name
My darling, my darling Sugaree

Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me, no
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
Just don′t tell them that you know me


So shake it up now, Sugaree
Shake it, baby
I′ll meet you at the jubilee, yeah
And if that jubilee don't come
It don′t work out
Maybe I'll meet you on the run
There′s just one thing I ask of you
It's just one thing for me, for me, for me
Please forget you knew my name
My darling Sugaree, yeah, yeah

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, shake it, Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me
