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

Should'a been on the river in nineteen and ten
Ooh, ooh, ooh
They were drivin' the women just like the men
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Should'a been on the river in nineteen and five
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Find yourself lucky to be alive
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

Go down Old Hannah, don't you rise no more
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Don't you rise up 'til the Judgment Day's for sure
Ooh, ooh, ooh

O Captain, don't you do me like you done poor old Shine
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Well ya drove that old mule 'til he went stone blind
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
