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
