Ain't No More Cane

There ain't no more cane on this Brazos

Oh oh oh

They done ground it all in molasses

Oh oh oh

You should've been on the river

In nineteen and four

Oh oh oh

You could've found a dead man

At every turnin' road

Oh oh oh

You should've been on the river

In nineteen and ten

Oh oh oh

They were holding the women

Like they were driving the men

Oh oh oh

Now Captain, don't you do me

Like you done poor Shine

Oh oh oh

You done work that bully

Till he been stone blind

Oh oh oh

Eyes of dead men help me drive my road

Oh oh oh

Eyes of dead men help me drive my road

Oh oh oh

And there's some on the building

And there's some on the farm

Oh oh oh

And there's some in the graveyard

And there's some goin' home

Oh oh oh

Because there ain't no more cane on this Brazos

Oh oh oh

They done ground it all in molasses

Oh oh oh

And there ain't no more cane on this Brazos

Oh oh oh

They done ground it all in molasses

Oh oh oh
