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 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 |
|
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 |
|
Well, in spite of all you gained |
|
You still have to stand out in the pouring rain |
|
One last voice is calling you |
|
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 |
|
Well, shake it up now, 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 |
