Johnny Cash Joshua Gone Barbados Lyrics

Joshua Gone Barbados lyrics

Cane standin' in the fields gettin' old and red



Lot of misery in Georgetown dreamin' layin' dead



Joshua head of the government he said strike for better pay



Cane cutters are strikin' but Joshua gone away



Joshua gone Barbados staying in a big hotel



People on St Vincent got many sad tales to tell



The sugar mill owner told the strikers I don't need you to cut my cane



Bring me another bunch of fellas your strike be all in vain



Get a bunch of tough fellas bring 'em from Zion Hill



Bring 'em in a bus to Georgetown know somebody could kill



Sunny Child the overseer I swear he's an ignorant man



Walkin' the the canefields pistol in his hand



Joshua gone Barbados just like he don't know people on the island got no place to go
[- From :http://www.elyrics.net/read/j/johnny-cash-lyrics/joshua-gone-barbados-lyrics.html -]



Police givin' protection new fellas cuttin' the cane



Strikers can't do nothin' strike be all in vain



Sunny Child cussed the strikers wave his pistol round



They're beatin' Sunny with the cutlers beat him to the ground



There's a lot of misery in Georgetown you can hear all the women bawl



Joshua gone Barbados he don't care at all



Cane standin' in the fields gettin' old and red



Sunny Child in the hospital pistol on his bed



I wish I could go to England Trinidad or Curacao



People on the island got no place to go



Joshua gone Barbados stayin' in a big hotel



People on St Vincent got many sad tales to tell
