I’ve Got a Secret Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I’ve got a secret, I shouldn’t tell
I’m gonna go to heaven in a split-pea shell

[Refrain]
Lordie me, didn’t we shake sugaree
Everything I have, down in pawn

[Verse 2]
You know I pawned my watch, I pawned my chain
I’d've sold myself, but I felt ashamed

[Refrain]
Lordie me, didn’t we shake sugaree
Everything I have, down in pawn

[Verse 3]
I’ve got a song to sing, not very long
I’m gonna sing it right if it takes me all night long

[Refrain]
Lordie me, didn’t we shake sugaree
Everything I have, down in pawn

[Instrumental]
[Verse 1, Reprise]
I’ve got a secret, I shouldn’t tell
I’m gonna go to heaven in a split-pea shell

[Refrain]
Lordie me, didn’t we shake sugaree
Everything I have, down in pawn

[Outro]
Said everything I have, down in pawn
Everything I have, down in pawn

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
