Chris Smither - Shake Sugaree Lyrics

Chris Smither Lyrics

"Shake Sugaree"
(originally by Fred Neil)

I've got a secret I should tell
I'm goin' up in heaven in a split-pea shell
Oh, Lordie me, didn't we shake up sugaree?
Everything I have, done and pawned

I pawned my watch, I pawned my chain
I'd have sold myself, but I got down so ashamed
Oh, Lordie me, well, didn't we shake up sugaree?
Everything I have, done and pawned

I've got a song to sing, it's not very long
I'm gonna sing it right if it takes me all night long
Oh, Lordie me, didn't we shake up sugaree?
Everything I have, done and pawned

I've got a secret that I should tell
I'm goin' up in heaven in a split-pea shell
Oh, Lordie me, didn't we shake up sugaree?
Everything I have, done and pawned

Oh, Lordie me, didn't we shake up sugaree?
Everything I have, done been pawned
