recording of 1996
from
World Wide Open (Watermelon 1053)
I ain't cuttin´ no more cane
Even if the big man shoots me dead
I ain't cuttin´ no more cane
Even if the big man shoots me dead
You know that Clarence Johnson
He will put a bullet through your head
Did not ask me for to be here
Did not send for me to come
Did not ask me for to be here
Did not send for me to come
They put me down here to pay
For the bad things I have done
You want to get a drink of water
But you know, you know you cannot stop
You want to get a drink of water
But you know, you know you cannot stop
And if you make a wrong move
You know that you are bound to drop
The world is wide and open
And I'm bound here with these chains
The world is wide and open
Yet I'm bound here with these chains
Even if I have to meet my maker
Lord I ain't cuttin´ no more cane
