the currency - cane song lyrics
[verse]
why did you come here and what are you running from?
it doesn’t really matter i’m only joking son
don’t wanna hear your story or even know your name
all i need to know is you’re able to cut cane
so far off the beaten track you must be tryin’ to get lost
such a situation can bear the both of us
the harvester hasn’t started since i don’t know when
and when the mine reopened i lost a lot of men
[chorus]
in the fable
cane killed able
are you able
able to cut cane
{and when it rains)
in the fable
{upon the tablelands the flooded plains)
cane killed able
are you able
able to cut cane
[verse]
did they tell you of the sugar slaves who came from the kanaks?
blackbirders brought them over, the polls have sent them back
me great+great+grand father, he liked the queensland life
left a little something for the postmaster general’s wife
daddy learnt his swing fightin’ in another land
there’s harder things than cane to cut he came to understand
me mother in the rice fields on the other side
they kept the war a going until the day he died
[chorus]
in the fable
cane killed able
are you able
able to cut cane
{and when it rains)
in the fable
{upon the tablelands the flooded plains)
cane killed able
are you able
you’re able to cut cane
[bridge]
why did you come here?
(and what are you running from?)
why did you come here?
(and what are you running from?)
why did you come here?
(and what are you running from?)
it doesn’t really matter i’m only joking son
there is no redemption, no inheritance for the meek
but if you’re able to cut cane there is more to keep
[chorus]
in the fable
cane killed able
are you able
able to cut cane
{and when it rains)
in the fable
{upon the tablelands the flooded plains)
cane killed able
are you able
you’re able to cut cane
in the fable
cane killed able
are you able
able to cut cane
{and when it rains)
in the fable
{upon the tablelands the flooded plains)
cane killed able
are you able
you’re able to cut cane
