Текст песни Dry Southern Blues (Blind Lemon Jefferson) с переводом

My mind leads me to take a trip down south

My mind leads me to take a trip down south

Take a trip down south and stop at a fatmouth’s house

One train’s at the depot with the red and blue lights behind

One train’s at the depot with the red and blue lights behind

Well, the blue light’s the blues, the red light’s the worried mind

I hate to tell you, sugar, it t’ain’t nobody there

I hate to tell you, sugar, it t’ain’t nobody there

If a man stay here, he’ll stay most anywhere

I got up this mornin', ramblin' for my shoes

I got up this mornin', ramblin' for my shoes

The little woman said to me, «It's all the world-weary blues»

Uncle Sam was no woman, but didn’t he draft your man?

Uncle Sam was no woman, but didn’t he draft your man?

Tell me them good-lookin' womens on the border’s raisin' sand

Well, women on the border’s drinkin' over the water trough

Well, women on the border’s drinkin' over the water trough

I wished Uncle Sam would hurry up and pay these soldiers off

I can’t drink coffee and the woman won’t make no tea

I can’t drink coffee and the woman won’t make no tea

I believe to my soul sweet mama gonna hoodoo me

I asked the girl did she love me, said, «Lemon, I don’t know how»

I asked the girl did she love me, said, «Lemon, I don’t know how»

Caught me commentatin', «Yes, I love you sky high»

She had feet like a monkey, head like a teddy bear

She had feet like a monkey, head like a teddy bear

And a mouth full of lip, I guarantees it’s everywhere

I’ve got a girl in Cuba, I’ve got a girl in Spain

I’ve got a girl in Cuba, I’ve got a girl in Spain

I’ve got a brownie yonder in Dallas, I’m afraid to call her name
