Willy DeVille - Bamboo Road Lyrics
My skin has turned brown from that sun so brightAll night I'm tossing and turning 'cause my dreams are so strongAnd my hands they callous 'cause my working day's too long.Up on Bamboo Road (Bamboo Road)Up on Bamboo Road (Bamboo Road)Yes you're sweeter than the sugar cane up on Bamboo Road.We walk out to the cane fields, all thirty five menAt twelve o'clock they give us water and we stagger back againFour o'clock, the sun gets higher, I hear that screen door slamSee you in the big house kitchen window from the cane fields where I'm in.Up on Bamboo Road (Bamboo Road)Up on Bamboo Road (Bamboo Road)Yeah you're sweeter than sugar caneSweeter than sugar cane, sweeter than the sugar cane up on Bamboo Road.I want to hold you close, Cher, I can only see you when I canAll day I cut that pure cane sugar but I'm still a starving man.Up on Bamboo Road (Bamboo Road)Up on Bamboo Road (Bamboo Road)Yes you're sweeter than the sugar caneSweeter than the sugar cane, sweeter than the sugar cane up on Bamboo Road.Up on Bamboo RoadYeah you're sweeter than the sugar caneSweeter than the sugar cane
