Cana-verde

I planted the green sugar cane
seven palms deep.
It didn't even take seven days
and the cane was ripe.

(Chorus)

Oh-oh! My dear ............. [repeats 4x]
It didn't even take seven days
and the cane was ripe.

I planted the green sugar cane
no one helped me plant. (repeat)
After the cane was ripe
everyone wanted to suck.

Oh-oh! My dear ............. [repeats 4x]
After the cane was ripe
everyone wanted to suck
