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
