Sugaree Lyrics

When they come to take you down When they bring that wagon around 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 darlin' 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 could do no wrong Had everything sown 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 darlin' 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 know, in spite of all you gained You still had 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 darlin' 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
Shake it up now Sugaree I'll meet you at the jubilee And if that jubilee don't come Baby I'll meet you on the run
Just one thing I ask of you Just one thing for me Please forget you know my name My darlin' 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
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
