Ain't No More Cane Lyrics

by Lyle Lovett

there ain't no more cane on
this brazos
they done ground it all in molasses

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e74210-lyle_lovett~aint_no_more_cane_lyrics.html ]
you should have been on the river
in nineteen and four
you could have found a dead man
at every turn row

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
'til 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
and there's some in the graveyard
and there's some going home

because there ain't no more cane
on this brazos
they done ground it all in molasses
