Ain't no more cane on the Brazos

It's done been ground down to molasses

Shoulda been on the river in 1904

You'll find a dead body on every road

Should been on the river in 1910

They drove the Women just like they drove the Men

Go down Old Hannah, don'cha rise no more

Don't rise up til Judgment Day's for sure

Ain't no more cane on the Brazos

They done ground it down to molasses
