No More Cane on the Brazos (1959) |
Ain’t no more cane on the Brazos |
Mmm, mmm |
They done ground it all in molasses |
Ooh, ooh |
Go down, old Hannah, don’t you rise no more |
Mmm, mmm |
If you rise, it’ll bring a judgement sure |
Ooh, ooh |
If I had a sentence like ninety-nine years |
Mmm, mmm |
All of the dogs on the Brazos wouldn’t keep me here |
Ooh, ooh |
Shoulda been here in nineteen and ten |
Ooh, ooh |
Drivin' the women just like the men |
Ooh, ooh |
Should been here in nineteen and four |
Mmm, mmm |
You could find a dead body in every row |
Ooh, ooh |
Ain’t no more cane on this Brazos |
Mmm, mmm |
They done ground it all in molasses |
Ooh, ooh |
