Ain't No More Cane on the Brazos

Ain't no more cane on the Brazos

They done ground it down in molasses

Captain don't you do me like you done poor shine

You drove that bully 'til he went stone blind

Oughtta come on the river in 1910

They were driving the women like they drive the men

Oughtta come on the river in 19 and 4

You could find a dead man on every row

If I had a sentence like 99 years

All the dogs on the Brazos wouldn't keep me here

There ain't no more cane on the Brazos

They done ground it down in molasses
