    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 them that you know me
    Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
    Just don't tell them that you know me

    You thought you was the cool fool
    And never would do no wrong
    You had everything sewed up tight
    How come you lay awake all night long

    Well 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 it's time you go

    Well 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

Lyrics

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 them that you know me
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me

You thought you was the cool fool
And never would do no wrong
You had everything sewed up tight
How come you lay awake all night long

Well 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 it's time you go

Well 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
