Johnny Cash

John R. "Johnny" Cash (February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003), was an American singer-songwriter, actor, and author, who has been called one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Although he is primarily remembered as a country music icon, his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly and rock and roll—especially early in his career—as well as blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal led to Cash being inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Gospel Music Hall of Fame. more »

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
