Thread Name: Origins: Shake Sugaree
Subject: Shake Sugaree
I am renewing my acquaintance with Elizabeth Cotten's song "Shake Sugaree" and I realize I don't kow what the title means. In fact I am not sure if "sugaree" is an adverb modifying the verb "shake" or if "Sugaree" is the subject of the command "shake".

Anyond know?
