There ain't no more cane on this Brazos
They done ground it all in molasses
You should have been on the river in nineteen and four
You could have found a dead man at every turn row
You should have been on the river in nineteen ten
They were rolling the women like they was driving the men
Now, captain, don't you do me like you done poor Shine
You done worked that bully 'til he been stone blind
Rise up, dead man, help me drive my row
Rise up, dead man, help me drive my row
There's some on the building, and there's some on the farm
And there's some in the graveyard, and there's some goin' home
Because there ain't no more cane on this Brazos
They done ground it all in molasses
And there ain't no more cane on this Brazos
They done ground it all in molasses
