When they come to take you down
|
|
When they bring that wagon round
|
|
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 darling, Sugaree
|
|
|
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
|
|
Just don't tell 'em you know me
|
|
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
|
|
Just don't tell 'em you know me
|
|
|
you thought you was the cool fool
|
|
never could do no wrong
|
|
you had everything sewn up tight
|
|
how come you stay awake all night long?
|
|
|
just one thing I ask of you
|
|
just one thing for me
|
|
please forget you knew my name
|
|
my darling, Sugaree
|
|
|
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
|
|
Just don't tell 'em you know me
|
|
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
|
|
Just don't tell 'em you know me
|
|
|
Well in spite of all that you gained
|
|
you're still standing in the pouring rain
|
|
just one 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 darling, Sugaree
|
|
|
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
|
|
Just don't tell 'em you know me
|
|
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
|
|
Just don't tell 'em you know me
|
|
|
Shake it up now, Sugaree
|
|
I'll meet you at the jubilee
|
|
and if that jubilee don't come
|
|
maybe I'll meet you on the run
|
|
|
just one thing I ask of you
|
|
just one thing for me
|
|
please forget you knew my name
|
|
my darling, Sugaree
|
|
|
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
|
|
Just don't tell 'em you know me
|
|
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
|
|
Just don't tell 'em you know me
|
|
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
|
|
Just don't tell 'em you know me
|
