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 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

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
