Текст песни What's the Matter with the Mill? (Memphis Minnie) с переводом

Kansas Joe McCoy:

Say Minnie! Where you going?

Memphis Minnie:

What you want, Kansas Joe?

I’m going to the mill; what do you think?

Have my corn ground

Kansas Joe McCoy:

For what?

Ahw, that old mill is done broke down

I’m just from down there

Memphis Minnie:

How do you know?

Ahw, and it broke you down

Kansas Joe McCoy:

Ahw, no, I went to get my corn ground

It done broke down

Yeah, it done broke down)

Memphis Minnie:

What’s the matter with the mill?

Done broke down?

Memphis Minnie:

Can’t get no grinding, tell me what’s the matter with the mill

Well, I had a little corn, I put it in a sack

Brought it to the mill and come right back

What’s the matter with the mill?

What’s the matter with the mill?

I can’t get no grinding

Tell me what’s the matter with the mill

Kansas Joe McCoy:

It done broke down

It done broke down

Memphis Minnie:

Ahw, grind it

Now listen here folks, I don’t want no stuff

You can’t bring me my meal, bring me the husks1

What’s the matter with the mill?

What’s the matter with the mill?

I can’t get no grinding

Tell me what’s the matter with the mill

Kansas Joe McCoy:

It done broke down

It done broke down

Memphis Minnie:

Well, my papa sat and cried, my brother did, too

They both been to the mill, they can’t get nothing to do

What’s the matter with the mill?

What’s the matter with the mill?

I can’t get no grinding

Tell me what’s the matter with the mill

Kansas Joe McCoy:

It done broke down

It done broke down

Now listen here folks, I want you to bear this in mind

If you’re going to the mill, you’re just losing time

What’s the matter with the mill?

What’s the matter with the mill?

I can’t get no grinding

Tell me what’s the matter with the mill

Kansas Joe McCoy:

It done broke down

It done broke down

(spoken: Aww, grind it again)
