Shake Sugaree Lyrics

Got a little secret
I ain't gonna tell
I'm going to heaven
In a ground pea shell
Oh lordie me
Didn't I shake sugaree

Everything I got is down in pawn
Pawned my watch
Pawned my chain
Pawned everything that was in my name

Oh lordie me
Didn't I shake sugaree

I'm going sailing
In a wooden shoe
Looking for a star
I can tell my troubles do

Oh lordie me
Didn't I shake sugaree

I pawned my horse
Pawned my plow
Pawned everything
Even my old milk cow

Got a little secret
I ain't gonna tell
I'm going to heaven
In a ground pea shell

Oh lordie me
Didn't I shake sugaree
Everything I got is down in pawn
Everything I got is down in pawn
