Harry Belafonte - I've Got A Secret Lyrics

Harry Belafonte Lyrics

"I've Got A Secret"
(originally by Fred Neil)

I've got a secret, ooh, I shouldn't tell
I'm gonna go to heaven in a split-pea shell
Lordie me, didn't we shake on sugaree
Everything I have, down in pawn

You know I pawned my watch, yes and I pawned my chain
I'd of sold myself, but I felt ashamed
Lordie me, didn't we shake on sugaree
Everything I have, down in pawn

You know I've got a song to sing, it's not very long
I'm gonna sing it right, yes if it takes all night long
Lordie me, didn't we shake on sugaree
Everything I have, down in pawn

I've got a secret, ooh, I shouldn't tell
I'm gonna go to heaven in a split-pea shell
Lordie me, didn't we shake on sugaree
Everything I have, down in pawn
