Ain`t No More Cane Lyrics

Ain't No More Cane On This Brazos

Chad Mitchell Trio

Album: "Singing Our
Minds"





Ain't no more cane on this Brazos by the buoy.

Oh, oh,
oh.

Well, we done ground it  all to molasses.

Oh, oh, oh.



When
I came down here  had a number for my name.

Oh, oh, oh.

Well they
chained us together and we started cuttin' cane.

Oh, oh, oh.



I
wish you was here in 19 and 10.

Oh, oh, oh. (Well they was...)

They was
drivin' the women just like they was men.

Oh, oh, oh.



I wish you
was here when the storm winds came.

Oh, oh, oh.

Left a man lyin' dead
and we cut him off the chain.

Oh, oh, oh.



If I had a sentence like
ninety-nine and nine.

Oh, oh, oh. (There ain't no...)

Ain't no dogs on
this Brazos could keep me on that line.

Oh, oh, oh.



Well, Alberta,
why don't you let your hair hang down.

Oh, oh, oh.

Let it hang right
down, 'till it  touches the ground.

Oh, oh, oh.



Why don't you go
down, ol' Hannah, don't you rise up no more.

Oh, oh, oh.

Well, they
worked me so hard, that  I can't work no more.

Oh, oh, oh.



Ain't
no more cane on this Brazos by the border.

Oh, oh, oh.

Well, we done
ground it  all to molasses.

Oh, oh, oh.



Oh, oh, oh.
