Sugaree

Lyrics By: Robert Hunter Music By: Jerry Garcia

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
