Sugar Cane |
| Mama said she don’t give a damn what those people say |
| Cane smoke can’t be good for you day after day |
| Every year at harvest time when the black smoke filled the sky |
| Shed pick me up and take me home and make me stay inside |
| From Thibodaux to Raceland there’s fire in the fields |
| All the way up the bayou from Lafourche to Iberville |
| Dirty air, dirty laundry, dirty money, dirty rain |
| A dirty dark at daybreak burning the sugar cane |
| Christmas on the bayou, midnight come and gone |
| Driving past the sugar mill and all the lights are on |
| The parking lot is full of trucks I can see the furnace glow |
| Everybody’s working overtime, it’s a good job, even though |
| From Thibodaux to Raceland there’s fire in the fields |
| All the way up the bayou from Lafourche to Iberville |
| Dirty air, dirty laundry, dirty money, dirty rain |
| A dirty dark at daybreak burning the sugar cane |
| First came the sugar cane, then came Thibodaux |
| Cane sugar built this town, cane sugar paved these roads |
| They burn the leaves to harvest cash, money for the company |
| Money makes the world go round, money, money, money |
| From Thibodaux to Raceland there’s fire in the fields |
| All the way up the bayou from Lafourche to Iberville |
| Dirty air, dirty laundry, dirty money, dirty rain |
| A dirty dark at daybreak burning, burning |
| The soot and ash are falling like a dark and deadly snow |
| The air is full of poison to the Gulf of Mexico |
| Dirty air, dirty laundry dirty money dirty rain |
