I've got your picture and I'm goin' to put it in a frame
I've got your picture, gonna put it in a frame
Shuckin' sugar
And then if you leave town, we can find you just the same
Now if you don't love me, please don't dog me around
If you don't love me, please don't dog me around
Shuckin' sugar
Like you dog me around, I'll know you've put me down
I know my baby thinks the world in all of me
I know my baby thinks the world in all of me
Shuckin' sugar
Every time she smiles, she shine her light on me
Oh, I said, fair brown, something's goin' on wrong
Oh, I said, fair brown, it's something's goin' on wrong
Shuckin' sugar
Since the woman I love, she's done been here and gone
Oh, listen, fair brown, don't you want to go
Oh, listen, fair brown, don't you wanna go
Shuckin' sugar
Going to take you across the water where that brownskin man can't go
Lord, I'm worried here, worried everywhere
I am worried here, worried everywhere
Shuckin' sugar
Now I've just started home and I'll not be worried there
Lord, I'm tired of marryin' and I'm tired of this settlin' down
I say, I'm tired of this marryin', tired of this settlin' down
Shuckin' sugar
I only want to stay like I am and slip from town to town
