Elizabeth Cotten - Shake Sugaree Songtexte

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.

Pawned my watch.
Pawned my chain.
Pawned 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.

Pawned my buggy,
horse and cat.
Pawned 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.

Pawned my chair.
Pawned my bed.
Ain't got nowhere to lay my head.

Oh, Lordy me.
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned.
Everything I got is done and pawned.

Pawned my tobacco.
Pawned my pipe.
Pawned everything that was in my sight.

Oh, Lordy me.
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned.
Everything I got is done and pawned.

Have a little secret i ain't gonna tell.
I'm goin' to heaven in a brown pea shell.

Oh, Lordy me.
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned.
Everything I got is done and pawned.

Pawned my farm.
Pawned my plough.
Pawned everything, even pawned my own cow.

Oh, Lordy me.
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned.
Everything I got is done and pawned.

Pawned my hat.
Pawned my shoes.
Pawned everything that i could use.

Oh, Lordy me.
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned.
Everything I got is done and pawned.

Have a little secret i ain't gonna tell.
I'm goin' to heaven and i ain't goin' no...

Oh, Lordy me.
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned.
Everything I got is done and pawned.

Chew my tobacco.
Spit my juice.
We raise cain but it ain't nothing a use.

Oh, Lordy me.
Didn't I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned.
Everything I got is done and pawned.
Everything I got is done and pawned.
