Pam Tillis - Shake the Sugar Tree download song

i actually had not heard of this song until I heard Danielle Bradbery sing it on The Voice. I liked her version so much that I had to check out the original! i love this song!!

Girls, shake the sugar tree.  lol

I still play this and maybe it was Memphis in 2019, Pam is gorgeous

80's and 90's were the best. Grew up wailin with it!

Cant help but feel good when you listen to this one!!

this is my mum's and mine song since I was young we would always dance together and sing this :D

Where is she now!!!! I love her and such a wonderful wonderful singer!!!!

This country is amazing!!!! Pam Tillis , Dolly , Reba , and Loretta... Such strong amazing women...

It's not the music that hits you, though it's well-written and played, with acoustic guitars, mandolin, fiddle and drums coming at you nice and steady; that 4/4 groove is a wonderful thing.  But it ain't that.  Nor is it the lyric: again; it's well-written, with her telling her lover that if he don't shape up and give her the loving she needs, she's gonna go hard and ship out.  It's the voice; that aching, plaintive, glassy, bell-like voice, hovering somewhere a Reba-like alto and a swooping, sweeping soprano, that hits you.  And it hits HARD.  Right in the head, the gut and the place it matters most: the heart.  Amazing song by an amazing singer.

"you been neglecting me"? are you kidding , who wouldn't kill themselves to hear that voice talking to them? shake the sugar tree ? to hear that voice i'd rip it out of the ground!

Love, you're getting lazy. You're forgetting to give me Sweet sugar, Words that I wanna hear. You been neglecting me, You know jealousy it is bitter as a green spring berry. And just like fruit from a fickle vine, You turn sweet in the nick o' time. Love, you only come alive When you're losing me. And it's a childish game, I gotta shake you up just to wake you up To make you love me. I'll shake the sugar tree, 'til I feel your love falling all around me. You gotta tend to what you planted, And if you take my love for granted, baby, I'll shake the sugar tree. Another night and you're sleeping, I'm awake and I'm dreaming. Oh honey, 'bout the way that it used to be. A little time's gone by, Now do you think that I'm content with the cooking And the payin' the rent? No I wanna know if your love's all spent. I'll shake the sugar tree, 'til I feel your love falling all around me. You gotta tend to what you planted, And if you take my love for granted, baby, I'll shake the sugar tree. I've got to raise some commotion, Before you show me some real emotion. I'll shake the sugar tree, 'til I feel your love falling all around me. You gotta tend to what you planted, And if you take my love for granted, baby, I'll shake the sugar tree.

i used to love country when it sounded like this!

THIS IS MY SONG TO THE LOVE OF MY LIFE AND HAS BEEN FOR NINTEEN YEARS

This song and "Maybe It Was Memphis" are still two of my favorite songs.

90s Country was the best!:high_brightness:
