Cane standing in the fields getting old and red |
| [00:21.130] |
Lot of misery in Georgetown, three men lying dead |
| [00:29.740] |
And Joshua, head of the government, say strike for better pay |
| [00:39.040] |
Cane cutters are striking, Joshua gone away |
| [00:47.790] |
Joshua gone Barbados, just like he don't know |
| [00:56.890] |
People on this island, they got nowhere to go |
| [01:07.290] |
Down, down, get down in the city, you can hear how the women bawl |
| [01:17.160] |
Joshua gone Barbados, he don't care at all |
| [01:27.960] |
Sonny Child the overseer, I swear he's an ignorant man |
| [01:37.030] |
Walking through the cane field, pistol in his hand |
| [01:45.640] |
Now roll it across the strikers, oh, it may not rain |
| [01:55.640] |
Everybody in jail, strike be all in vain |
| [02:03.620] |
Joshua gone Barbados, just like he don't know |
| [02:12.870] |
People on the St. Vincent, they got no place to go |
| [02:41.080] |
That's enough, it's a very long song |
