Have a little song
Won't take long
Sing it right
Once or twice
Oh, lordy me
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Pawn my watch
Pawn my chain
Pawn everything that was in my name
Oh, lordy me
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Pawn by buggy
Horse and cart
Pawn everything that was on my lot
Oh, lordy me
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Won't take long
Sing it right
Once or twice
Oh, lordy me
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Pawn my watch
Pawn my chain
Pawn everything that was in my name
Oh, lordy me
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Pawn by buggy
Horse and cart
Pawn everything that was on my lot
Oh, lordy me
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
