What's the Matter With the Mill? Songtext
von Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys

I took my wheat down to get it ground
The man that runs the mill said, "The mills′ broke drown"

What's the matter with the mill?
It done broke down
What′s the matter with the mill?
It done broke down
You ain't get no grinding
Tell me, what's the matter with the mill?

Old lady Jane lives behind the fence
Told the man that runs the mill said he can′t stand that

What′s the matter with the mill?
It done broke down
What's the matter with the mill?
It done broke down
You ain′t get no grinding
Tell me, what's the matter with the mill?

Called my voodoo lager up, this is what he said (what′d he say?)
"Ain't got the right, you have to take the rim"


What′s the matter with the mill?
It done broke down
What's the matter with the mill?
It done broke down
You ain't get no grinding
Tell me, what′s the matter with the mill? (Jody!)

Old Uncle Bob just standing around
Got a sack full of corn and they can′t get ground

What's the matter with the mill?
It done broke down
What′s the matter with the mill?
It done broke down
You ain't get no grinding
Tell me, what′s the matter with the mill?

Oh, grind it out Junior, yeah

Makes no difference, how you feel
You get all the damn sack chicken reel

What's the matter with the mill?
It done broke down
What′s the matter with the mill?
It done broke down
You ain't get no grinding
Tell me, what's the matter with the mill?

Old lady Jane, she bought a new hat
Believe it or not, boy she kinda like that


What′s the matter with the mill?
It done broke down
What′s the matter with the mill?
It done broke down
You ain't get no grinding
Tell me, what′s the matter with the mill?

With the mill, with the done gone mill
