作曲：Eric Von Schmidt

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 to the canefields

Pistol in his hand

Joshua gone Barbados just like

He don't know people on the island

Got no place to go

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

He don't care at all

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

Staying in a big hotel

People on St Vincent

Got many sad tales to tell
