PUT THE SUGAR TO BED
A D
Out on a shrimp boat I just dropped the net
E A
When the wind she come to blowin' whizzin' bad all to get
D
I look south east and golly me what I see
E
A black thundercloud with them fuzzy eyebrows
A
Come a lookin' direct towards boudleaux and me
D A
I turned to boudleaux and me I said
E A
Put the sugar to bed put the sugar to bed
D A
Lock up the coffee in the coffee pot
E A
Put the flour in your pillow cause it's all we got
D
Hang the lantern from the ceiling and watch your head
E A E A
Ho boudleaux put the sugar to bed boudleaux put the sugar to bed
D A D
Well the sky she get dark and then she turn dark black
E A
I yell she gonna blow one right out of the almanac
D
A big raindrop smacked me right on the ear
E
And I hollered hey boudleaux but the way the wind blow
A
He just as soon be deaf there wasn't no how to hear
D A
I try to call to boudleaux but slid instead
E A
Then me and boudleaux put the sugar to bed
[Solo]
D A E A D A
D
Well the ends of that shrimpin' boat was switchin' around
E
She turned sideways and inners and outers and upside down
A D
The water come in tryin' to drown the both of us
E A
The closet top open and the shillet went a flyin' me I hit my head and kinda
cuss
D A
But most of all I frowned when she calm that I said
E A
Put the sugar to bed put the sugar to bed
D A E A
Ain't nothin' dry but my railroad watch the salt got soggy but we still can budge
A D
We built a fire for the coffee and we chicory fed
A
Cause me and boudleaux put the sugar to bed
E A
Me and boudleaux put the sugar to bed
