Ain't no more cane on the Brazos
Ooh, ooh
It's all been ground down to molasses
Ooh, ooh

Shoulda been on the river in nineteen and ten
Ooh, ooh
They were driving the women just like they drove the men
Ooh, ooh

Go down old Hannah, don'cha rise here no more
Ooh, ooh
Don't you rise up till the judgment day's for sure
Ooh, ooh

Ain't no more cane on the Brazos
Ooh, ooh
It's all been ground down to molasses
Ooh, ooh

Captain, don't you do me like you done poor Shine
Ooh, ooh
Well ya drove that bully till he went stone blind
Ooh, ooh

Wake up on a lifetime, hold up your own head
Ooh, ooh
Well you may get a pardon but then you might just drop dead
Ooh, ooh
Ain't no more cane on the Brazos
Ooh, ooh
It's all been ground down to molasses
Ooh, ooh

Ain't no more cane on the Brazos
Ooh, ooh
It's all been ground down to molasses
Ooh, ooh

Ain't no more cane on the Brazos
Ooh, ooh
It's all been ground down to molasses
Ooh, ooh
