Mike Seeger of the Ramblers had made friends with Dock Boggs who was famous for recording &#8220;Sugar Baby&#8221; for Brunswick Records in 1926. The song was eventually included on Harry Smith&#8217;s Anthology of American Folk Music. <\/p>\n<p>Mike gave Boggs the opportunity to come to New York and record again after a long hiatus from the music business. Dock&#8217;s style of banjo playing is interesting because he didn&#8217;t use the claw hammer approach common to most banjo stylists of Appalachia. Dock used a three finger up-picking technique that was quite unique.<\/p>\n<p>This song also appears on \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Harry Smith Connection\u00e2\u20ac\u009d sung by Jeff Tweedy, Jay Bennett and me &#8211; a  compilation CD recorded live at the Wolf Trap Farm in October, 1997 <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Harry-Smith-Connection-Anthology-American\/dp\/B000009Q0L\/ref=sr_1_2\/002-2727326-7822461?ie=UTF8&#038;s=music&#038;qid=1183820859&#038;sr=8-2\n\">The Harry Smith Connection<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lyrics-header\">Lyrics:<\/div>\n<div class=\"lyrics\">\n Sugar Baby<\/p>\n<p>Oh I&#8217;ve got no sugar baby now<br \/>\nAll I can do is to seek peace with you<br \/>\nAnd I can&#8217;t get along this a-way<br \/>\nCan&#8217;t get along this a-way<\/p>\n<p>All I can do, I&#8217;ve said all I can say<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll send it to your mama next payday<br \/>\nSend you to your mama next payday.<\/p>\n<p>I got no use for the red rockin&#8217; chair,<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve got no honey baby now<br \/>\nGot no sugar baby now<\/p>\n<p>Who&#8217;ll rock the cradle, who&#8217;ll sing the song<br \/>\nWho&#8217;ll rock the cradle when I&#8217;m gone<br \/>\nWho&#8217;ll rock the cradle when I&#8217;m gone?<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll rock the cradle, I&#8217;ll sing the song<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll rock the cradle when you gone.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s all I can do<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s all I can say,<br \/>\nI will send you to your mama next payday<\/p>\n<p>Laid her in the shade, give her every dime I made<br \/>\nWhat more could a poor boy do<br \/>\nWhat more could a poor boy do?<\/p>\n<p>Oh I&#8217;ve got no honey baby now<br \/>\nGot no sugar baby now<\/p>\n<p>Said all I can say, I&#8217;ve done all I can do<br \/>\nAnd I can&#8217;t make a living with you<br \/>\nCan&#8217;t make a living with you<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"http:\/\/digg.com\/tools\/diggthis.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do I download this Mp3?
