LYLE LOVETT – Ain’t No More Cane

Ain’t no more cane on the Brazos
Oh, oh, oh, oh…
Its all been ground down to molasses
Oh, oh- oh, oh- oh…

You shoulda been on the river in 1910
They were driving the women just like they drove the men.

Go down Old Hannah, don’cha rise no more
Don’t you rise up til Judgment Day’s for sure

Ain’t no more cane on the Brazos
Its all been ground down to molasses

Captain, don’t you do me like you done poor old Shine
Well ya drove that bully til he went stone blind

Wake up on a lifetime, hold up your own head
Well you may get a pardon and then you might drop dead

Ain’t no more cane on the Brazos
Its all been ground down to molasses.

LYLE LOVETT – Bears

Some folks say there ain’t no bears in Arkansas
Some folks never seen a bear at all
Some folks say that bears go around eating babies raw
Some folks got a bear across the hall

Some folks say that bears go around smelling bad
Others say that a bear is honey sweet
Some folks say this bear’s the best I ever had
Some folks got a bear beneath their feet

Some folks drive the bears out of the wilderness
Some to see a bear would pay a fee
Me I just bear up to bewildered best
And some folks even see the bear in me

So meet a bear and take him out to lunch with you
And even though your friends may stop and stare
Just remember that’s a bear there in the bunch with you
And they just don’t come no better than a bear
