aint no more cane – janis joplin

Taken from Festival Express. You can see Rick Danko, Janis Joplin, Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, and various other musicians singing.

*******
You shoulda been on the river in 1910
They were driving the women just like they drove the men.

Go down Old Hannah,(2) don’cha rise no more
Don’t you rise up til Judgment Day’s for sure

Ain’t no more cane on the Brazos
Its all been ground down to molasses

Captain(3), don’t you do me like you done poor old Shine
Well ya drove that bully(4) til he went stone blind

Wake up on a lifetime(5), hold up your own head
Well you may get a pardon and then you might drop dead

Ain’t no more cane on the Brazos
Its all been ground down to molasses.

    this was a priceless scene…apparently Danko was the only Band member to actually ride the train. Looks like he drank for the rest of them. LOL

    “LukaaaasMusic who is that guy with the blue and red jacket and who is the other guitar player (not jerry)”

    If I had to guess, that’s Graham Nash of CSNY fame.

    A couple of observations on this clip-
    (1) Danko had a fantastically authentic voice that transends time.
    (2) Garcia and Wier, as usual, know how to carry a tune. Even one that they probably never tried until that evening.
    (3) This clip is such a great glimpse into a small period of time when the music was fun and young.

    “Old Hanna” refers to the sun in Texas prison slang. The chain gangs, usually had to work in deadly and debilitating heat, so they hated the sun.

    The band performs this song at Woodstock.
