Down Among The Sugar Cane 1908

Down in Lou'sianna,
where the sugar cane grows,
Oh, Oh, my!
Lives Miss Susiana
she's the sweetest girl I know,
Oh, Oh, my!
When my work is over
'mongst the sugar cane,
to her home I go just at the bend in the lane,
'Neath her cabin window
I am singing this refrain.
Oh, Oh, my!

Can't you see the night am falling?
Whippoorwill am singing low?
Don't you hear the crickets calling?
calling you and me to go?
Susie, don't you keep me waiting,
if you do 'twill cause me pain.
The moon am shining,
and my heart am pining,
meet me down among the sugar cane.

Can't you see the night am falling?
Whippoorwill am singing low?
Don't you hear the crickets calling?
calling you and me to go?
Susie, don't you keep me waiting,
if you do 'twill cause me pain.
The moon am shining,
and my heart am pining,
meet me down among the sugar cane.

'Taint no use a talking,
there will be a wedding soon,
Oh, Oh, my!
met her last December
and we're goin' to wed in June,
Oh, Oh, my!
Susiana's goin' to be my blushing bride,
I can see myself a standing by her side,
'deed I'll be a happy person
when the knot am tied.
Oh, Oh, my!

Can't you see the night am falling?
Whippoorwill am singing low?
Don't you hear the crickets calling?
calling you and me to go?
Susie, don't you keep me waiting,
if you do 'twill cause me pain.
The moon am shining,
and my heart am pining,
meet me down among the sugar cane.

Can't you see the night am falling?
Whippoorwill am singing low?
Don't you hear the crickets calling?
calling you and me to go?
Susie, don't you keep me waiting,
if you do 'twill cause me pain.
The moon am shining,
and my heart am pining,
meet me down among the sugar cane.
