When they come to take you down
When they bring that wagon around
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 know my name, my darling Sugaree
Shake it, shake it Sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me
You thought you was the cool fool and never could do no wrong
Had everything sewed up tight
How come you lay awake all night long
Well in spite of all you gained
You still had to stand out in the pouring rain
One last voice is calling you and I guess its time you go
Well shake it up now Sugaree, Ill meet you at the jubilee
If that Jubilee dont come
Maybe Ill meet you on the run
