Sugar Cane Sweet
this sorrow keep'in
me up and so dark
the night so dark
i ate this old heart
& taste the bitterness
mud on these feet
cool ma'h soul
yes indeed it do.
Woken up when the light
split the night and
now on my feets doing
the man's burden all
of this ol'day in
white man's fields.
so life makes me hug
yes'sir like fresh cooked
bread and steaming beans
this life so hard but
i'm drown'in in so much
love.
