Joshua Gone Barbados — текст песни (Johnny Cash)

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
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
