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

You should've been on the river
In nineteen and ten ooh, ooh, ooh
They were drivin' the women just
Like they drove the men ooh, ooh, ooh

Go down Old Hannah, don't you rise no more
Ooh, ooh, ooh don't you rise up 'til
Judgment Day's for sure ooh, ooh, ooh
Ain't no more cane on the Brazos
Ooh, ooh, ooh
It's all been ground down to molasses
Oh, ooh, ooh

Captain, don't you do me like
You done poor old Shine ooh, ooh, ooh
Well ya drove that bully 'til
He went stone blind ooh, ooh, ooh

Wake up on a lifetime, hold up your own head
Ooh, ooh, ooh well, you may get a pardon and
Then you might drop dead ooh, ooh, ooh

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