Sugar 1919

Please Mister Hackman hurry,
I gotta be on my way;
Don't ask me any questions
I haven't time today;
Make that old horse gallop,
please make him show some pep;
And while he is doing it
be sure and watch your step;
Now if you make that train on time
before that whistle blows,
You can have my watch and chain
also my Sunday clothes.

Cause I'm goin' to

meet my Sugar among the sugar canes
down in old L.A.
I'm goin' to hold my Sugar in my arms,
and make her name the day;
I'm goin' to kiss my Sugar
like a kid that's got a brand new dime
I'm goin' to hug my Sugar like some bear
down in that sugar clime;
And when I marry Sugar
from this roamin' I'll refrain
I'll live and die with Sugar
down among the sugar cane.

I'm goin' to meet
my Sugar among the sugar canes
down in old L.A.
I'm goin' to hold my Sugar in my arms,
and make her name the day;
I'm goin' to kiss my Sugar
like a kid that's got a brand new dime
I'm goin' to hug my Sugar like some bear
down in that sugar clime;
And when I marry Sugar
from this roamin' I'll refrain
I'll live and die with Sugar
down among the sugar cane.

Please Mister Trainman hurry,
I hope you'll be on time;
Now that's a funny answer
You're new upon this line;
Make this old train rattle,
Please don't jump the track;
'Cause my gal is waiting there
down in that vine clad shack;
Now if you make that town on time
before old Bob White calls,
On my honeymoon I'll ride
down to Niagra Falls,

'Cause I'm goin' to

meet my Sugar among the sugar canes
down in old L.A.
I'm goin' to hold my Sugar in my arms,
and make her name the day;
I'm goin' to kiss my Sugar
like a kid that's got a brand new dime
I'm goin' to hug my Sugar like some bear
down in that sugar clime;
And when I marry Sugar
from this roamin' I'll refrain
I'll live and die with Sugar
down among the sugar cane.

I'm goin' to meet
my Sugar among the sugar canes
down in old L.A.
I'm goin' to hold my Sugar in my arms,
and make her name the day;
I'm goin' to kiss my Sugar
like a kid that's got a brand new dime
I'm goin' to hug my Sugar like some bear
down in that sugar clime;
And when I marry Sugar
from this roamin' I'll refrain
I'll live and die with Sugar
down among the sugar cane.
