Текст песни Whoa Back Buck (Leadbelly) с переводом

18, 19--20 years ago,

Took my gal to the country store,

Took my gal to the country store,

Buy m' pretty little gal little calico.

Me and my gal walkin' down the road,

Her knees knock together playin' «Sugar In The Gourd»,

Sugar in the gourd and the gourd in the ground,

If you want a little sugar got to roll the gourd around.

My old man’s good old man

Washed his face in a frying pan,

Combed his hair with a wagon wheel,

And died with a toothache in his heel.

Papa loved mama---mama loved men,(three times)

Mama’s in the graveyard and papa’s in the pen.

I gee to the mule but the mule wouldn’t gee, (3 times)

So I hit him side the head with the single tree.

I haw to the mule wouldn’t haw, (3 times)

So I broke his back with my mother-in-law.
