Cane
Take Karintha
Take Karintha
As perfect as dusk
When the sun goes down
Take Karintha
As perfect as twilight as a child
Able to drive both young and old wild
Perfect as dusk, perfect as dusk
When the sun goes down
And remember
Remember every sound
As our flowers grow
Men will try and cut them down
Take Karintha
As sweet as spring rain
Run from the cane
Perfect as dusk
The smoke curls up
And hangs amongst the trees
Curls up and spreads itself out
Weeks after Karintha returned home
The smoke was so heavy you tasted it in water
Smoke is on the hills
Rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up
Pray for Becky
Pray for Becky
White woman gave birth to two back sons
Pray for Becky
Her one room shack fell to the ground
The two boys killed a man and had to leave town
White woman gave birth to two black sons
Pray for Becky
And remember
Remember the days
She looked for us to help
And we all turned away
Pray for becky
Buried down near the train
Deep in the cane
Take Karintha
As perfect as dusk
When the sun goes down
Take Karintha
As perfect as twilight as a child
Able to drive both young and old wild
Perfect as dusk, perfect as dusk
When the sun goes down
And remember
Remember every sound
As our flowers grow
Men will try and cut them down
Take Karintha
As sweet as spring rain
Run from the cane
Perfect as dusk
The smoke curls up
And hangs amongst the trees
Curls up and spreads itself out
Weeks after Karintha returned home
The smoke was so heavy you tasted it in water
Smoke is on the hills
Rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up
Pray for Becky
Pray for Becky
White woman gave birth to two back sons
Pray for Becky
Her one room shack fell to the ground
The two boys killed a man and had to leave town
White woman gave birth to two black sons
Pray for Becky
And remember
Remember the days
She looked for us to help
And we all turned away
Pray for becky
Buried down near the train
Deep in the cane
