Maria Sugarcane - Brian Wright[00:00:00]
In the south end of the county[00:00:13]
Near the highway and the trains[00:00:16]
There's a river long since dried[00:00:19]
A river just the same[00:00:21]
When I was just a boy[00:00:24]
I would the lie there on it's banks[00:00:27]
With my brother and the summer[00:00:29]
And Maria Sugarcane[00:00:32]
And my brother was born shaky[00:00:39]
And he wore our father's rage[00:00:42]
And he stumbled through the autumn[00:00:44]
Underneath the winter's weight[00:00:47]
And he rode a motorcycle[00:00:50]
That he'd drive down to the banks[00:00:52]
Of the river in the summer[00:00:55]
With Maria Sugarcane[00:00:58]
And how they loved each other[00:01:05]
And that love was wild as hope[00:01:07]
And none would come between[00:01:10]
My father's wandering ghost[00:01:13]
And I had seen him beat her[00:01:15]
Time and time before[00:01:18]
But as I loved my brother[00:01:21]
I loved Maria so much more[00:01:24]
I loved her young and pretty[00:01:32]
And I loved her wild and strong[00:01:34]
And I'd never loved another[00:01:37]
I'd loved her for so long[00:01:40]
And never would I hurt her[00:01:43]
Never see her meet with harm[00:01:45]
When I told her how I'd found him[00:01:48]
She fell into my arms[00:01:51]
Told her how I'd found him[00:01:57]
Down there by the river banks[00:02:00]
That the angels were around him[00:02:03]
But that I was just too late[00:02:05]
And they carried him off to heaven[00:02:08]
My father's sins and all[00:02:11]
But I did not hear the shot[00:02:14]
And I did not see him fall[00:02:17]
And Maria loved my brother[00:02:23]
With her purest bluest eyes[00:02:26]
And he carried it in paper[00:02:29]
And it never left his side[00:02:32]
And I married her two summers past[00:02:34]
The year my brother died[00:02:37]
And though sometimes I hear her[00:02:40]
I've never seen her cry[00:02:43]
And I know Maria loves me[00:02:50]
But it just ain't the same[00:02:52]
As the way she loved my brother[00:02:55]
In those summers on the banks[00:02:57]
Of the river long since dried up[00:03:00]
Maria Sugarcane[00:03:03]
In the south end of the county[00:03:06]
Near the highway and the trains[00:03:08]
In the south end of the county[00:03:15]
Near the highway and the trains[00:03:18]
There's a river long since dried up[00:03:21]
But a river just the same[00:03:23]
And that's where I found my brother[00:03:26]
And Maria's one true love[00:03:29]
I knew that I would kill him[00:03:32]
And Maria she would come[00:03:34]
In the corner of the graveyard[00:04:05]
Near the spot my brother lays[00:04:07]
Far past the noble families[00:04:10]
Two more plots are saved[00:04:13]
When I and fair Maria[00:04:16]
Seen our final days[00:04:19]
May they bury her between us[00:04:22]
Maria Sugarcane[00:04:24]
