My daddy said don’t walk the cane fields at night alone

A cane cutter’s not the kind of man you can make your own

Sweet as syrup, but he cuts like a knife

And that ain’t no life

For a daughter of mine

Chorus:

[I said]

I got a fire in my belly and swamp inside my head

I got a fire in my belly and I feel like I’m half dead

It’s raining under my skin

I can’t give in

He’s my last sin
