Lyrics

I’m gonna go down to the Sugar Shack
I aint goin’ home till my baby comes back
I wanna’ make time with the ladies in the back
And wake up with the rising sun

Now, let me tell you ‘bout that Sugar Shack
Just the other side of the rail road tracks
It’ll give a good man a heart attack
If he don’t leave before the setting sun

CHORUS
Now if you go down to the Sugar Shack
	The whisky they sell will lay you down flat
When you come around, the ladies in the back
	Will wake up with the setting sun

See the story’s told ‘bout the Sugar Shack
	Of a broke down ol’ one-eyed Jack
Dropped dead - a heart attack
	And he never saw the rising sun

Now my baby and me – we was on the right track
And I was steerin’ clear of the Sugar Shack
But I found a note that she was never coming back
When I woke up with the rising sun

So I took down to the Sugar Shack
In need of lovin’ from the ladies in the back
But what I saw gave me a heart attack
Come out my baby with the setting sun

CHORUS

Now I’m never going back to the Sugar Shack
Til’ my baby quits hangin’ with the ladies out back
Gave this good man a heart attach
I’m just a’waitin’ for the rising sun
