Ain't No More Cane Lyrics - Lovett Lyle

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 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
