Shake Sugaree – Elizabeth Cotton
I’ve got a secret
Ain't gonna tell
I'm going to heaven in a split pea shell
Refrain
Oh, Lordy me
Shake sugaree
Everything I got is down in pawn
Pawned my watch
Pawned my chain
Pawned everything that was in my name
Refrain and Break
Pawned my chair
And pawned my bed
Ain't got nowhere to lay my head
Refrain
Pawned my farm
And pawned my plough
Pawned everything, even pawned my cow
Refrain and Break
Pawned my hat
Pawned my shoes
Pawned everything that I could use
Refrain
I’ve got a secret
Ain't gonna tell
I'm going to heaven in a split pea shell
Refrain (2x)
