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
