Capo 4th fret (sounding key E major)
Ain't no more cane on the Brazos
Oh, oh, oh,
Its done ground all to molasses
M-m-m-m-m
Shoulda been on the river in 1910
M-m-m-m-m
They were driving the women just like men.
M-m-m-m-m
Shoulda been on the river in 1905
Find yourself lucky to be alive
Go down Old Hannah, don't you rise no more
Don't you rise til Judgment Day
Ain't no more cane on the Brazos
They've done ground it all to molasses
m-m-m-m-m.
