Put The Sugar To Bed Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[A]Out on a sh[D]rimp boat I just dropped the net
When the wi[E]nd she come to blowin' whizzin' bad all to g[A]et
I look south east and go[D]lly me what I see
A bl[E]ack thundercloud with them fuzzy eyebrows
Come a lookin' direct towards bou[A]dleaux and me
I tu[D]rned to boudleaux and m[A]e I said
Put the su[E]gar to bed put the su[A]gar to bed
L[D]ock up the coffee in the cof[A]fee pot
Put the flour [E]in your pillow ca[A]use it's all we got
Hang the lantern from the ceiling and wa[D]tch your head
Ho bo[E]udleaux put the su[A]gar to bed bo[E]udleaux put the s[A]ugar to bed
[D]Well the s[A]ky she get dark and then s[D]he turn dark black
I yell s[E]he gonna blow one right out of the al[A]manac
A big raindrop smacked [D]me right on the ear
And I hol[E]lered hey boudleaux but the way the wind blow
He just as soon be deaf there wasn't n[A]o how to hear
I t[D]ry to call to boudleaux but sl[A]id instead
Then [E]me and boudleaux put the su[A]gar to bed

[SOLO]
[D] [A] [E] [A] [D] [A]

Well the ends of that shrimpin' boat was switchin' ar[D]ound
She turned sid[E]eways and inners and outers and upside down
The wa[A]ter come in tryin' to dr[D]own the both of us
The cl[E]oset top open and the shillet went a flyin' me I hit my head and ki[A]nda
cuss
But m[D]ost of all I frowned when she c[A]alm that I said

Put the s[E]ugar to bed put the s[A]ugar to bed
A[D]in't nothin' dry but my ra[A]ilroad watch the s[E]alt got soggy but we st[A]ill can budge
We b[A]uilt a fire for the coffee and [D]we chicory fed
Cause me and boudleaux p[A]ut the sugar to bed
Me and bo[E]udleaux put the s[A]ugar to bed
