[00:00:30] There's a painting of my grandfather

[00:00:34] On my mothers side

[00:00:37] In the hallway of our homestead

[00:00:41] In a special place of pride

[00:00:45] With his bulldogs and kanakas

[00:00:49] Back in eighteen nighty three

[00:00:53] In a linen suit and a panama

[00:00:56] They say he looked like me

[00:01:02] And the story goes he came out

[00:01:06] To make a brand new start

[00:01:10] In an effort to forget

[00:01:13] A sad affair of the heart

[00:01:17] And with these romantic notions

[00:01:21] To the colonies he came

[00:01:25] Where he settled in the tropics

[00:01:28] Made his fortune growing cane

[00:01:34] Well let the canefields burn

[00:01:37] Let the flames rise

[00:01:41] Let the politicians and the bankers in the city look up

[00:01:46] In wonder at the glow at in the sky

[00:01:49] Let the canefields burn

[00:01:53] Let me feel no pain

[00:01:57] When I drown my soul in whiskey

[00:02:02] And dance in the flames

[00:02:19] There's a photo of my parents

[00:02:22] Taken in between the wars

[00:02:26] In London Rome or Paris

[00:02:30] I don't know for sure

[00:02:33] But it hangs there in the hallway

[00:02:37] And there's one for every year

[00:02:42] Fortunes made and fortunes paid

[00:02:45] For champagne souvenirs

[00:02:50] So let the canefields burn

[00:02:54] Let the flames rise

[00:02:57] Let the politicians and the bankers in the city look up

[00:03:02] In wonder at the glow at in the sky

[00:03:05] Let the canefields burn

[00:03:09] Let me feel no pain

[00:03:14] When I drown my soul in whiskey

[00:03:18] And dance in the flames

[00:03:27] And all they say they're gonna take this all away from me

[00:03:35] The cars the cane the homestead

[00:03:38] All my family history

[00:03:42] Well tomorrow when the bankers come to settle all their claims

[00:03:50] Let the auctioneer open with a price for charred remains

[00:03:58] And let the cane fields burn

[00:04:02] Let the flames rise

[00:04:06] Let the politicians and the bankers in the city look up

[00:04:11] In wonder at the glow at in the sky

[00:04:13] Let the canefields burn

[00:04:17] Let me feel no pain

[00:04:22] When I drown my soul in whiskey

[00:04:26] And dance in the flames

[00:04:31] Let the canefields burn

[00:04:35] Let the flames rise

[00:04:39] Let the politicians and the bankers in the city look up

[00:04:43] In wonder at the glow at in the sky

[00:04:46] Let the canefields burn

[00:04:50] Let me feel no pain

[00:04:54] When I drown my soul in whiskey
