Ain’t No More Cane (Take 1) Lyrics

[Refrain]
Ain't no more cane on the Brazos
Oh, oh, oh, oh
They done ground that all up into molasses
Oh, oh oh, oh

[Verse 1]
Shoulda been on the river in 1904
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You found [?] dead body near every single door
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
Shoulda been on the river in 1910
Oh, oh, oh, oh
They were drivin' the women just like they drivin' the men
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 3]
Put down your little head and don't you rise no more
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't you rise no more up until the Judgement Day is for sure
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Refrain]
Ain't no more cane on the Brazos
Oh, oh, oh, oh
They done ground that all up into molasses
Oh, oh oh, oh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
