Lyrics for Ain't No More Cane

Ain't no more cane on the Brazos, ooh It's all been ground down to molasses, ooh You should've been on the river in 1910, ooh They were driving the women just like they drove the men, ooh Go down Old Hannah, don't you rise no more, ooh Don't you rise up 'til Judgment Day's for sure, ooh Ain't no more cane on the Brazos, ooh It's all been ground down to molasses, ooh Captain, don't you do me like you done poor old Shine, ooh Well, ya drove that bully 'til he went stone blind, ooh Wake up on a lifetime, hold up your own head, ooh Well, you may get a pardon and then you might drop dead, ooh Ain't no more cane on the Brazos, ooh It's all been ground down to molasses, ooh Yeah
