[00:04.18]it’s not very far from sulphur to sugarcane
[00:12.94]’cos everywhere i travel pretty girls call my name
[00:21.37]i give ‘em as squeeze and they shoot me a wink
[00:25.02]i buy their hot-headed husbands a long cool drink
[00:29.56]you’d better come up smelling sweet
[00:31.65]’cos you’re a long time stinking
[00:33.98]then it’s a little too late to complain
[00:38.65]it’s not very far from sulphur to sugarcane
[00:43.62]
[00:46.70]now if you catch my eye
[00:48.78]and you find that it runs down your leg
[00:54.71]it’s like striking a match pretty hard upon a powder keg
[01:04.42]they’ll tell you from the borders to the waters in the gulf
[01:08.21]and if you take all the sugar you’ll end up in the sulphur
[01:12.50]and you’ll burn in...
[01:13.70]"hello, baby i’m a pleased to meet you"
[01:17.21]"i wouldn’t do you wrong, honey"
[01:19.79]"i wouldn’t cheat you, honey’"
[01:21.82]"when can i see you again?"
[01:26.14]"wrap you up in cellophane"
[01:30.52]it’s not very far from sulphur to sugarcane...
[01:37.18]
[01:39.27]it’s not very far from sulphur to sugarcane...
[01:46.23]
[01:47.59]and your eyes fill up with brine
[01:52.04]because you’re drowning in wine
[01:56.34]it’s like the last days of rome
[02:00.85]with the despots and divine
[02:05.20]there’s no place like home
[02:07.56]for a little doll from china
[02:10.02]it’s a little too late to complain
[02:14.65]it’s not very far from sulphur to sugarcane
[02:20.26]
[02:22.89]you can go west to texas
[02:25.05]go east to mississippi
[02:27.00]you can run out of money
[02:29.40]you can run out of pity
[02:31.41]throw open your purse
[02:33.72]until you’re crying for mercy
[02:35.89]go to alabama
[02:38.39]escape louisiana
[02:40.41]i’m digging like a miner
[02:42.36]north and south carolina
[02:44.35]and then if you continue
[02:46.71]you will end up in virginia
[02:48.81]the woman in poughkeepsie
[02:50.85]take their clothes off when they’re tipsy
[02:53.13]but in albany, new york
[02:55.11]they love the filthy way i talk
[02:57.05]as they gargle with the finest champagne
[03:02.14]when they can’t get the grape or the grain
[03:33.32][03:06.62]’cos it’s not very far from sulphur to sugarcane
[03:37.76][03:12.09]
[03:41.90]if i could find a piano
[03:43.64]here in bloomington, indiana
[03:45.35]i would play it with my toes
[03:47.65]until the girls all take their clothes off
[03:50.08]woman knock upon my door
[03:52.31]in odd and even numbers
[03:54.43]but none of them as wild as i discovered in columbus
[03:59.15]i gave up married women
[04:01.10]’cause i heard it was a sin
[04:03.13]but now i’m back in pittsburgh,
[04:05.21]i might take them up again
[04:07.40]because they gargle with the finest champagne
[04:12.24]when they can’t get the grape or the grain
[04:42.97][04:16.22]’cos it’s not very far from sulphur to sugarcane
[04:47.85][04:22.01]
[04:51.84]up in syracuse
[04:52.93]i was once falsely accused
[04:55.50]but i’m not here to hurt you
[04:57.83]i’mhere to steal your
[05:00.57]down in bridgeport
[05:02.00]the woman will kill you for sport
[05:04.68]but inworcester, massachusetts

[05:09.40]the woman in poughkeepsie
[05:11.17]take their clothes off when they’re tipsy
[05:13.44]but i hear in ypsilanti
[05:15.53]they don’t wear any panties...
[05:17.71]once they gargle with the finest champagne
[05:22.78]they hitch up their skirts and exclaim
[05:27.22]it’s not very far, sugar
[05:31.67]it’s not very far, sugar
[05:40.71]it’s not very far from sulphur to sugarcane
