Ain't No More Cane

There ain't no more cane on

This brazos

They done ground it all in molasses.



You should have been on the river

In nineteen and four

You could have found a dead man

At every turn row.



You should have been on the river

In nineteen and ten

They were rolling the women like

They were driving the men.



Now captain don't do me like

You done poor shine

You done worked that bully

'Til he been stone blind.



Rise up dead man help me drive

My row

Rise up dead man help me drive

My row.



There's some on the building and

There's some on the farm

And there's some in the graveyard

And there's some going home.



Because there ain't no more cane

On this brazos

They done ground it all in molasses...
