I got twenty years of living

With these old Caine River Blues
Work at tenant farming, Jacob is my name
I work at tenant farming, Jacob is my name
I spent half my life getting blisters
From cutting sugar cane
Got me a son named Jimmy, got a wife named Marie
Said, I got me a son named Jimmy, got a wife named Marie
I'm getting old working in the sun all day
But she done alright by me
She said Jimmy needs some schooling, so he doesn't end up like you
Said, Jimmy needs some schooling, so he doesn't end up like you
But buying his books on the money I make
It's a damn hard thing to do
Mr. Jackson wants to see me, so he called me in at four
Mr. Jackson wants to see me, but he called me in at four
Said, I got me combine, Jacob
I don't need you anymore
INSTRUMENTAL:
Well, I got a brother named Virgil, he sells crack cocaine
I got me a brother named Virgil, he sells crack cocaine
He got rich a long time ago
And he left that sugar cane
Virgil said hey Jacob, I'll make you a deal
Virgil said hey Jacob, I'll make you a deal
I got to get some good to Appaloosas
I need you behind the wheel
We were headed south on a two lane road called highway 1-9-0
We were headed south on a two-lane road called highway 1-9-0
Mr. trooper pulled us over outside of town
He said, step out nice and slow
Mr. Trooper shot poor Virgil, when he tried to run
Mr. Trooper shot poor Virgil, when tried to run
But I killed Mr. Trooper
With Virgil's old shotgun
Down in Louisiana, got nothing left to lose
Down in Louisiana, got nothing left to lose
Now I'm going to Angola
