Sugarcane - John Mayall, The Bluesbreakers

Once I had a little girl

Brought a smile into my world

So sweet she had a name

Called her sugar cane

Sugar cane was natural born

Cajun from the country lord

I swear she was the sweetest thing

I loved that sugar cane

Sugar cane would go to town

And all the men folk turned around

Makin' eyes they’d want to try

To 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 man

I love my sugar cane

And then one day she had to leave

And travel far away from me

Lord, I was lonesome

Like 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 morning

Yes, she’s knocking on my door

I said, «Sugar cane

Ya done come back baby

Never gonna leave again»
