Once I had a little girlBrought a smile into my worldSo sweet she had a namecalled her sugar caneSugar cane was natural bornCajun from the country lordI swear she was the sweetest thingi loved that sugar caneSugar cane would go to townAnd all the men folk turned aroundMakin' eyes they'd want to tryto steal her away from meBut I got my knife and I'd hold her handSo them boys would understandDon't mess around I mean it mani love my sugar caneAnd then one day she had to leaveAnd travel far away from meLord I was lonesomelike I'd never been beforeAnd then one night I fell asleepAnd dreamed she had come back to meAnd when I woke next morningyes she's knocking on my doorI said sugar caneYa done come back babynever gonna leave again
