Sugar  Babe  -  Mance  Lipscomb

(It  was  the  first'un  I  learnt)

Sugar  babe,  I'm  tired  of  you,

ain't  your  honey  but  the  way  you  do

Sugar  babe,  it's  all  over  now

All  I  want  my  babe  to  do,

make  five  dollars  and  give  me  two

Sugar  babe,  it's  all  over  now

Went  downtown  and  bought  me  a  rope

Whupped  my  baby

till  she  Buzzard  Lope

Sugar  babe,  it's  all  over  now

Sugar  babe,

what's  the  matter  with  you

You  don't  treat  me  like  you  used  to  do

Sugar  babe,  it's  all  over  now

Went  to  town  and  bought  me  a  line

Whupped  my  baby  till

she  changed  her  mind

Sugar  babe,  sugar  babe,

it's  all  over  now

Sugar  babe,  I'm  tired  of  you

Ain't  your  honey  but  the  way  you  do

Sugar  babe,  it's  all  over  now
