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 know 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 could do no wrong
  Had everything sewed up tight. How come you lay awake all night long
    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 don't tell them that you know me
  Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me
    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 it's time you go
    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 don't tell them that you know me
  Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me
    Well shake it up now Sugaree, I'll meet you at the jubilee
    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 don't tell them that you know me
  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
