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 now

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 till he been stone blind

Rise up, dead man, help mе drive my row
Rise up, dead man, hеlp me drive my row

There's some on the building and there's some on the farm
There's some in the graveyard and there's some going home

Because there ain't no more cane on the Brazos
They done ground it all in molasses
