PUT THE SUGAR TO BED

A augmentedA     D MajorD
Out on a shrimp boat I just dropped the net
      E MajorE                      A augmentedA
When the wind she come to blowin' whizzin' bad all to get
            D MajorD
I look south east and golly me what I see
  E MajorE
A augmentedA black thundercloud with them fuzzy eyebrows
                 A augmentedA
Come a lookin' direct towards boudleaux and me
  D MajorD           A augmentedA
I turned to boudleaux and me I said
     E MajorE          A augmentedA
Put the sugar to bed put the sugar to bed
 D MajorD              A augmentedA
Lock up the coffee in the coffee pot
       E MajorE        A augmentedA
Put the flour in your pillow cause it's all we got
                    D MajorD
Hang the lantern from the ceiling and watch your head
   E MajorE         A augmentedA      E MajorE        A augmentedA
Ho boudleaux put the sugar to bed boudleaux put the sugar to bed
D MajorD     A augmentedA             D MajorD
Well the sky she get dark and then she turn dark black
    E MajorE                  A augmentedA
I yell she gonna blow one right out of the almanac
            D MajorD
A augmentedA big raindrop smacked me right on the ear
     E MajorE
And I hollered hey boudleaux but the way the wind blow
                   A augmentedA
He just as soon be deaf there wasn't no how to hear
  D MajorD               A augmentedA
I try to call to boudleaux but slid instead
   E MajorE             A augmentedA
Then me and boudleaux put the sugar to bed

Solo:
D MajorD  A augmentedA  E MajorE  A augmentedA  D MajorD  A augmentedA

                           D MajorD
Well the ends of that shrimpin' boat was switchin' around
       E MajorE
She turned sideways and inners and outers and upside down
   A augmentedA            D MajorD
The water come in tryin' to drown the both of us
   E MajorE                                 A augmentedA
The closet top open and the shillet went a flyin' me I hit my head and kinda
cuss
   D MajorD               A augmentedA
But most of all I frowned when she calm that I said

     E MajorE          A augmentedA
Put the sugar to bed put the sugar to bed
 D MajorD             A augmentedA         E MajorE           A augmentedA
Ain't nothin' dry but my railroad watch the salt got soggy but we still can budge
  A augmentedA               D MajorD
We built a fire for the coffee and we chicory fed
            A augmentedA
Cause me and boudleaux put the sugar to bed
     E MajorE        A augmentedA
