Alan Lomax - Ain't No More Cane on This Brazis lyrics

There ain't no more cane on the Brazis Oh, oh, oh They done ground it all in molla**es Oh, oh, oh Better git yo' overcoat ready, oh... Well, it's comin' up a norther, oh... Well the captain standin' an ' lookin' an' cryin' Well, it's gittin' so cold, my row's behin' Cap'n doncha do me like you did po' Shine You drive that bully till he went stone-blin' Cap'n cap'n, you must be blin' Keep on holl'in an' I'm almos' flyin' One o' dese mornin's, an' it won't be long You gonna call me an' I'll be gone Ninety-nine years so jumpin' long To be here rollin' an' cain' go home If I had a sentence like ninety-nine years All the dogs on the Brazis won' keep me here I b'lieve I'll go to de Brazis line Ef I leave you here, gonna think I's flyin' B'lieve I'll do like old Riley Ol' Riley walked the big Brazis Well, the dog-sergeant got worried an' couldn' go Ol' Rattler went to howlin' 'cause the tracks too ol' Oughta come on the river in 1904 You could find a dead man on every turn row Oughta come on the river in 1910 They was drivin' the women jes' like the men Wake up, dead man, an' help me drive my row Wake up, dead man, an' help me drive my row Some in the buildin' an' some on the farm Some in the graveyard, and some goin' home I looked at my Ol' Hannah, and she's turnin' red I looked at my podner an' he's almos' dead Wake up, lifetime, hold up yo' head Well, you may get a pardon an' you may drop dead Well, I wonder what's de matter, somepin' mus' be wrong We're still here rollin', Shorty George done gone Go down, Ol' Hannah, doncha rise no mo' If you rise in the mornin' bring Judgment Day
