Harry Belafonte - Belafonte By Request

I've Got a Secret

I've got a secret, ooh, I shouldn't tell
I'm gonna go to heaven in a split-pea shell
Lordie me, didn't we shake on sugaree?
Everything I have, down in pawn (everything I have)
(Oh, talking about everything I have)
(Secrets on your mind)

You know I pawned my watch (no, no)
Yes and I pawned my chain (you got no new pawning)
I'd've sold myself (don't do it)
But I felt ashamed (what a shame)
Lordie me, didn't we shake on sugaree?
Everything I have, down in pawn (everything I have)
(Oh, talking about everything I have)

You know, I've got a song to sing
It's not very long
I'm gonna sing it right
Yes, if it takes all night long
Lordie me, didn't we shake on sugaree?
Everything I have, down in pawn (everything I have)
(Oh, talking about everything I have)

I've got a secret, ooh, I shouldn't tell
I'm gonna go to heaven in a split-pea shell
Lordie me, didn't we shake on sugaree
Everything I have, down in pawn (everything I have)
(Oh, talking about everything I have)

(Everything I have) everything I have
Down in pawn (oh, talking about everything I have)
Everything I have, down in pawn
(Everything I have)
Everything I have, down in pawn (oh, talking about everything I have)
