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, its just one thing for me
Please forget you knew my name, my darling Sugaree
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
Just dont tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
Just dont tell them that you know me
You thought you was the cool fool
Never could do no wrong
You had everything sewn up tight
How come you lay awake all night long?
Just one thing I ask of you, its just one thing for me
Please forget you knew my name, my darling Sugaree
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
Just dont tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
Just dont tell them that you know me
You know in spite of all you gained
You still have to stand out in the pouring rain
One last voice is calling you
And I guess its time to go
Just one thing I ask of you, its just one thing for me
Please forget you knew my name, my darling Sugaree
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
Just dont tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
Just dont tell them that you know me
Shake it up now, Sugaree
Ill meet you at the Jubilee
If that Jubilee dont come
Maybe Ill meet you on the run
Just one thing I ask of you, its just one thing for me
Please forget you knew my name, my darling Sugaree
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
Just dont tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
Just dont tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
Just dont tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
Just dont tell them that you know me
