I've got your picture, and I'm going to put it in a frame 
I've got your picture, I'll put it in a frame, Shuckin' Sugar 
And then if you leave town, we can find you just the same 
Now if you don't love me, please don't dog me around 
If you don't love me, please don't dog me around, Shuckin' Sugar 
Like you dog me around, I'll know you'll put me down 
I know my baby, thinks she wanting all of me 
I know my baby, thinks she wanting all of me, Shuckin' Sugar 
Everytime she smiles, she shines a light on me 
Oh big fair brown, something's goin' on wrong 
Oh big fair brown is, something's goin' on wrong, Shuckin' Sugar 
Its this woman I love, she's gone from here and gone 
Ah, listen 
fair brown 
, don't you wanna go 
Ah, listen fair brown, don't you wanna go, Shuckin' Sugar 
Well, you take it 'cross the water, where a 
brown-skinned 
man can't go 
All them worries here, worries everywhere 
I have worries here, worries everywhere, Shuckin' Sugar 
Man, I just started home and I might be worried there 
Well, I'm of tired of marriage, and I'm tired of this settlin' down 
I said I'm tired of this marriage, tired of this settlin' down, Shuckin' Sugar 
I only wanna be like I am in a different kind of town
