Lyrics:

I've got a secret, I shouldn't tell,
I'm gonna go to heaven in a split-pea shell.
Lordie me, didn't we shake sugaree.
Everything I have, down in pawn.
You know I pawned my watch, I pawned my chain,
I'd of sold myself, but I felt ashamed.
Lordie me, didn't we shake sugaree.
Everything I have, down in pawn.
I've got a song to sing, not very long,
I'm gonna sing it right if it takes me all night long
Lordie me, didn't we shake sugaree.
Everything I have, down in pawn.
