taj mahal - shake sugaree lyrics

Loading...

{the name of this song is ‘shake sugaree’
‘shake sugaree’, is a song written by elizabeth cotton
and originally sung by her great grand daughter
and she sang this song at the newport folk festival
somewhere around 1968}

{and elizabeth cotton is a writer of very fine songs
such as, ‘freight train’ and ‘oh babe, it ain’t no lie’
and she wanted this song to be sung by children
all over the place and all over the world
and that’s why we are bringin’ it to you}

{also, many other famous people have recorded this song
and it’s a great song to sing
remember, this is ‘shake sugaree’}

have a little song
won’t take long
sing it right
once or twice

oh lordy me, didn’t we shake sugaree?
everything i got is down in p-wn
everything i got is down in p-wn

p-wned my watch
p-wned my chain
p-wned everything
even p-wned my own name

oh lordy me, didn’t we shake sugaree?
everything i got is down in p-wn
everything i got, i got in p-wn

have a secret
i ain’t gonna tell
i’m goin’ to heaven
and i ain’t goin’ to

oh lordy me, didn’t i shake sugaree?
everything i got is down in p-wn
everything i got is down in p-wn

p-wned my buggy
p-wned my plough
p-wned everything
even p-wn my old cow

oh lordy me, didn’t i shake sugaree?
everything i got is down in p-wn
everything i got is down in p-wn

have a secret
i ain’t gonna tell
i’m goin’ to heaven
in a brown pea sh-ll

oh lordy me, didn’t i shake sugaree?
everything i got is down in p-wn
everything i got is down in p-wn

have a little song
won’t take long
sing it right
once or twice

oh lordy me, didn’t i shake sugaree?
everything i got, i got in p-wn
everything i got is down in p-wn
