Adam Carroll - Caine River Blues



E
Down in Louisiana, got too much to lose
A
Down in Louisiana, got too much to lose
B7                           
I got twenty years of living
                     E
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
With these ole Caine River Blues
