Lyrics
Roll, Black Sugar River, sweet jubilee
Carry that sugarcane to where the Delta melts into the sea
You gonna cut that cane while the buzzards fly
Stacked taller than a man who'll never leave this world alive
Screen door done lost its screen some years ago
Poor woman done lost my love when the sweet Cachaça done laid me low
Roll, Black Sugar River, sweet jubilee
Carry that sugarcane to where the Delta melts into the sea
Hear her fateful moan through the walls of time
I see her footprints lead up to my door from the waterline
Bury me in sweet molasses, I done all I can
That river that brought me here, let it take me on to the Promised Land
The Promised Land
Roll, Black Sugar River, sweet jubilee
Carry my body down to where the Delta melts into the sea
Roll, Black Sugar River, sweet jubilee
Carry that sugarcane to where the Delta melts into the sea
