Once I had a little girl
Brought a smile into my world
So sweet she had a namecalled her sugar cane
Sugar cane was natural born
Cajun from the country lord
I swear she was the sweetest thingi loved that sugar cane
Sugar cane would go to town
And all the men folk turned around
Makin' eyes they'd want to tryto steal her away from me
But I got my knife and I'd hold her hand
So them boys would understand
Don't mess around I mean it mani love my sugar cane
And then one day she had to leave
And travel far away from me
Lord I was lonesomelike I'd never been before
And then one night I fell asleep
And dreamed she had come back to me
And when I woke next morningyes she's knocking on my door
I said sugar cane
Ya done come back babynever gonna leave again
