Put The Sugar To Bed

A          D
Out on a shrimp boat I just dropped 
the net
           E                     
When the wind she come to blowin' 
                      A
whizzin' bad all to get
                        D
I look south east and golly me what 
I see
    E
A black thundercloud with them fuzzy
 eyebrows
Come a lookin' direct towards 
   A
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
Hang the lantern from the ceiling 
      D
and watch your head
     E                 A          
Ho boudleaux put the sugar to bed 
  E                A
