Let me tell you a story about where I come from
Hop in the car and take a ride through the countryside
Up on the hill lies your grand daddy, Grady
He made a living down in Monument Valley now
Now he lies up on the hill
I remember when he used to say
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
But I forgot now you've got your own car
Girl by your side and you're going too far
Aunt Josie said, "My, how big you have grown!"
Too big to call you my baby, my own
When I see you, I still wanna cry
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
I've got the stories, I've got the memories
Some that cry, oh and some that laugh
I've got them saved up like your pennies
Oh, little baby in your piggy bank
And now time has passed and you're so far away
Can't get used to not seeing you each day
But there's one place in the back of my mind
Where I can go to see you anytime
And for you to me, forever you will be my
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
Hop in the car and take a ride through the countryside
Up on the hill lies your grand daddy, Grady
He made a living down in Monument Valley now
Now he lies up on the hill
I remember when he used to say
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
But I forgot now you've got your own car
Girl by your side and you're going too far
Aunt Josie said, "My, how big you have grown!"
Too big to call you my baby, my own
When I see you, I still wanna cry
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
I've got the stories, I've got the memories
Some that cry, oh and some that laugh
I've got them saved up like your pennies
Oh, little baby in your piggy bank
And now time has passed and you're so far away
Can't get used to not seeing you each day
But there's one place in the back of my mind
Where I can go to see you anytime
And for you to me, forever you will be my
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
Sugar pie, sugar pie, sit by me
The Subdudes
The Subdudes (styled lowercase as The subdudes) are an American roots rock group from New Orleans. Their music blends folk, swamp pop, New Orleans rhythm and blues, Louisiana blues, country, cajun/zydeco, funk, soul and gospel with harmonic vocals. Their sound is notable for the band's substitution of a tambourine player for a drummer. The subdudes formed in 1987 through a music venue in New Orleans called Tipitina's.

Oh my God - I LOVE this song! My ex and I were big into the Subdudes in the 90s, and this is one of my very favorites by them. All you naysayers, just open up to the sincerity of this. Wonderful! Thanks to whoever uploaded it!!!!

Even after being awakened from a long nap in the archives, this song just sounds like a Subdudes B-side.

Never heard of them. Must be a reason for that.
