Use A− / A+ to adjust text sizeJoshua Gone Barbados
Cane standin' in the fields gettin' old and redLot of misery in Georgetown dreamin' layin' deadJoshua head of the government he said strike for better payCane cutters are strikin' but Joshua gone awayJoshua gone Barbados staying in a big hotelPeople on St Vincent got many sad tales to tellThe sugar mill owner told the strikers I don't need you to cut my caneBring me another bunch of fellas your strike be all in vainGet a bunch of tough fellas bring 'em from Zion HillBring 'em in a bus to Georgetown know somebody could killSunny Child the overseer I swear he's an ignorant manWalkin' the the canefields pistol in his handJoshua gone Barbados just like he don't know people on the island got no place to goPolice givin' protection new fellas cuttin' the caneStrikers can't do nothin' strike be all in vainSunny Child cussed the strikers wave his pistol roundThey're beatin' Sunny with the cutlers beat him to the groundThere's a lot of misery in Georgetown you can hear all the women bawlJoshua gone Barbados he don't care at allCane standin' in the fields gettin' old and redSunny Child in the hospital pistol on his bedI wish I could go to England Trinidad or CuracaoPeople on the island got no place to goJoshua gone Barbados stayin' in a big hotelPeople on St Vincent got many sad tales to tell
