No More Cane on the Brazos Songtext
von Eric Bibb

Let′s craze on the guitar
Can you wait?

Should have been here in 1904, whoa-oh-ooh
You could find a dead body every road
Down on the Brazos

Should have been here in 1910, whoa-oh-ooh
They were drivin' the womens just like the men
Down on, down on
Down on the Brazos


Oh, I looked at the sun
Eh, I noticed the sun was turnin′ red, whoa-oh-ooh
When I looked at my partner
You know the man liked to drop down there
Oh, down on, down on
On the Brazos

If I had a sentence like 99 years, whoa-ooh
Well, all the dogs on this Brazos could not keep me here
Not down on
Down on the Brazos

Go down, oh, Hannah, don't you rise no more, whoa-oh-ooh
If you rise in the morning, bring it judgement sho'
Down on the Brazos

Ain′t no more cane on the Brazos, whoa-oh-ooh
They done ground it all in molasses
Oh, down on, down on
On the Brazos

Another man town gone
