1
I have a little song and it won't take long
2
And I'll sing it right once or twice-
3
Oh lordy me, didn't I shake sugaree
4
Everything I got is in the pawn.
5
Everything I got.
6
Pawned my chair and I pawned my bed,
7
And ain't got no place to lay my head.
8
Oh lordy me, didn't I shake sugaree
9
Everything I got is in the pawn
10
Everything I got.
11
Grow my tobacco and I spit my juice-
12
Well I would raise cain, but it ain't a bit of use
13
Oh lordy me, didn't I shake sugaree
14
Everything I got is in the pawn.
15
Everything I got.
16
Pawned my tobacco and I pawned my pipe,
17
Pawned everything that was in my sight.
18
Oh lordy me, didn't I shake sugaree
19
Everything I got is in the pawn.
20
Everything I got.
21
I'm going sailing in a wooden shoe
22
Looking for a star I could tell my troubles to
23
Oh lordy me, didn't I shake sugaree
24
Everything I got is in the pawn.
25
Everything I got.
26
First star to the right and it's straight on 'til morn,
27
I never saw such such night since I was born.
28
Oh lordy me, didn't I shake sugaree
29
Everything I got is in the pawn.
30
Everything I got.
31
Have a little secret; I ain't going to tell,
32
I'm going to heaven in a brown pea shell.
33
Oh lordy me, didn't I shake sugaree
34
Everything I got is in the pawn.
35
Everything I got.
36
Pawned my horse and I pawned my plow.
37
Pawned everything, even pawned my old milk cow.
38
Oh lordy me, didn't I shake sugaree
39
Everything I got is in the pawn.
40
Everything I got.
41
Have a little secret and I ain't going to tell,
42
I'm going to heaven and I'm not going to ....
43
Oh lordy me, didn't I shake sugaree
44
Everything I got is in the pawn.
45
Everything I got.
46
I have a little song and it won't take long...
