Put The Sugar To Bed

<p>[Verse]<br/>Out on a shrimp boat I just dropped the net<br/>When the wind she come to blowing whizzing bad all to get<br/>I look south east and golly me what I see<br/>A black thundercloud with them fuzzy eyebrows<br/>Come a looking direct towards boudleaux and me<br/>I turned to boudleaux and me I said<br/>Put the sugar to bed put the sugar to bed<br/>Lock up the coffee in the coffee pot<br/>Put the flour in your pillow because it&#x27;s all we got<br/>Hang the lantern from the ceiling and watch your head<br/>Ho boudleaux put the sugar to bed boudleaux put the sugar to bed<br/>Well the sky she get dark and then she turn dark black<br/>I yell she going to blow one right out of the almanac<br/>A big raindrop smacked me right on the ear<br/>And I hollered hey boudleaux but the way the wind blow<br/>He just as soon be deaf there wasn&#x27;t no how to hear<br/>I try to call to boudleaux but slid instead<br/>Then me and boudleaux put the sugar to bed<br/>Well the ends of that shrimping boat was switching around<br/>She turned sideways and inners and outers and upside down<br/>The water come in trying to drown the both of us<br/>The closet top open and the shillet went a flying me I hit my head and kinda cuss<br/>But most of all I frowned when she calm that I said<br/>Put the sugar to bed put the sugar to bed<br/>Ain&#x27;t nothing dry but my railroad watch the salt got soggy but we still can budge<br/>We built a fire for the coffee and we chicory fed<br/>Because me and boudleaux put the sugar to bed<br/>Me and boudleaux put the sugar to bed
