No More Cane On The Brazos - Odetta
Ain't no more cane on the brazos
Mmm mmm
They done ground it all in molasses
Ooh ooh
Go down old hannah
Don't you rise no more
Mmm mmm
If you rise
It'll bring a judgement sure
Ooh ooh
If I had a sentence like ninety nine years
Mmm mmm
All of the dogs on the brazos
Wouldn't keep me here
Ooh ooh
Shoulda been here in nineteen and ten
Ooh ooh
Driving the women just like the men
Ooh ooh
Should been here in nineteen and four
Mmm mmm
You could find a dead body in every row
Ooh ooh
Ain't no more cane on this brazos
Ohh ohh
They done ground it all in molasses
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
