Gil Scott-Heron - Cane lyrics

Take Karintha, Take Karintha Perfect as dusk when the sun goes down Take Karintha, as perfect as twilight as a child Able to drive both young and old wild. Perfect as dusk when the sun goes down Take Karintha And remember, remember the sounds For often as our flowers grow Men will try and cut them down. Take Karintha, sweet as spring rain And run from the cane, Pray for Becky. Pray for Becky, White woman gave birth to two black sons. Pray for Becky, her one room shack fell to the ground The two boys k**ed a man and had to leave town. White woman gave birth to two black sons. Pray for Becky, And remember, remember the days She looked to us for help And we all turned away. Pray for Becky, buried down near the trains Deep in the cane.
