Sugar Dumpling
Sam Cooke
One of my favourite Sam Cooke songs. This is my interpretation of the song and I play it with a similar strumming technique to that on Wonderful World also by Sam Cooke. I play it with the capo on the 3rd but that’s just because I like singing it at that pitch. Any suggestions for change are welcomed! Otherwise enjoy. The song isn’t too difficult and an absolute belter to sing along too. SD x Intro: G Em7 X2 CHORUS: Sugar dumpling you’re my baby Cadd9 G I love you in every way Sugar dumpling you’re my baby Cadd9 G My love grows stronger everyday yeah REPEAT CHORUS Listen while I tell you a story A story about my girl I call her sugar dumpling Because she’s the sweetest thing in this whole world Oh whenever I’m feeling bad Right away she puts me to bed G Cadd9 And she hires two nurses one to hold my hand The other one to rub my head CHORUS Oh whenever I tell her "Honey I’m hungry" Now go and fix me something to eat This girl rushes in the kitchen and fixes me a dinner With seven different kinds of meat If I call her up at two o’clock in the morning And say "Come on over if you can" G Cadd9 Before I hang up the telephone she’s sitting beside me With a cup of coffee in her hand CHORUS X3
