Lyrics

Got a little secret
I ain't gonna tell
I'm going to heaven in a ground pea shell
Oh Lordy me, didn't I shake, sugary
Everything I got is down in pawn
Pawned my watch
Pawned my chain
Pawned everything that was in my name
Oh Lordy me, didn't I shake, sugary
Everything I got is down in pawn
I'm going sailing
In a wooden shoe
Looking for a star I can tell my troubles to
Oh Lordy me, didn't I shake, sugary
Everything I got is down in pawn
Pawned my horse
Pawned my plow
Pawned everything, even pawned my old milk cow
Oh Lordy me, didn't I shake, sugary
Everything I got is down in pawn
Got a little secret
I ain't gonna tell
I'm going to heaven in a ground pea shell
Oh Lordy me, didn't I shake, sugary
Everything I got is down in pawn
Everything I got is down in pawn
Everything I got is down in pawn
