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 darlin Sugaree
Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me
You thought you was the cool fool
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 knew my name
My darlin Sugaree
Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me
You know 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
Just one thing I ask of you
Just one thing for me
Please forget you knew my name
My darlin Sugaree
Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it up now, Sugaree
I'll meet you at the Jubilee
If that Jubilee don't come
Maybe I'll meet you on the run
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
but don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell 'em that you know me
