    Thanks for the awesome vid! The song is in B Mixolydian (key of E major). B Major Pentatonic and B Mixo sound great, use your flat 7 and use the chord tones. Awesome song! B minor pentatonic too for the blues feel.

Really helps me when I'm learning to try and play along with that after I've have gotten the pieces down.

    I don't think Hunter said the song was about a stripper. He said it was about a criminal, that someone else that is a criminal is associated with. The criminal was perhaps a pimp, not a stripper. Hunter said "The song, as I imagined it, is addressed to a pimp". The wagon is the paddy wagon. Maybe I meet you on the run, is on the run from the law. Don't tell them (the law) that you know me, is don't be a snitch. Robert Hunter himself revealed the meaning of “Sugaree” in the liner notes for the All Good Things box set released in 2004. Hunter said the phrase ‘just don’t tell them that you know me’ was prompted by something said by an associate in his pre-Dead days when his destitute circumstances found him fraternizing with a gang of criminals. The line "When they come to take you down, When they bring that wagon ’round, When they come to call on you, And drag your poor body down" Is referring to when they come to arrest you and take you away. "Shake it, shake it, Sugaree" is referring to shaking the charges. The line "You thought you was the cool fool, And never could do no wrong, You had everything sewed up tight, How come you lay awake all night long?, refers to the criminal being brazen and never thinking they would get caught. This verse " Well, in spite of all you gained, You still had to stand out in the pouring rain, One last voice is calling you, And I guess it’s time you go" Is showing the life of crime in the end is not prosperous, and in the end it is time to go to jail. Next line: Well shake it up now, Sugaree, I’ll meet you at the Jubilee, If that Jubilee don’t come, Maybe I’ll meet you on the run. It is a farewell to this friend, telling them that they will meet again when or if they are released from prison, or when the charges are dropped (shaken) and they get off. The use of “Jubilee” is a reference to the Old Testament - a time when slaves and prisoners are freed, and debts are forgiven. (Hunter often used biblical references). And if they never have the moment of Jubilee, they may meet somewhere down the line, when one or the other is on the run from the law.
