Текст песни Banty Rooster Blues (Charlie Patton) с переводом

I’m gonna buy me a banty, put him at my backdoor

I’m gonna buy me a banty, put him at my backdoor

So when he see a stranger a-comin', he’ll flap his wings and crow

What you want with a rooster, he won’t crow 'fore day?

What you want with a rooster, he won’t crow 'fore day?

What you want with a man, when he won’t do nothin’he say?

What you want with a hen won’t, cackle when she lays?

What you want with a hen won’t, cackle when she lays?

What you want with a woman, when she won’t do nothin’I say?

Ah, take my picture, hang it up in Jackson wall1

Ah, take my picture, hang it up in Jackson wall

Anybody asks you «What about it», tell 'em «That's all I saw»

My hook’s in the water, and my cork’s on top

My hook’s in the water, and my cork’s on top

How can I lose, Lord, with the help I got

I know my dog anywhere I hear him bark

I know my dog anywhere I hear him bark

I can tell my rider, if I feel her in the dark
