What's the Matter With the Mill Songtext
von Erin Harpe

I had a little corn, I put it in a sack
Took it to the mill and it come right back
So what′s the matter with the mill? Done broke down
What's the matter with the mill? Done broke down
I can′t get no grinding, tell me, what's the matter with the mill?

Well, people keep talkin' all over town
Tellin′ me that mill has done broke down
So what′s the matter with the mill? Done broke down
What's the matter with the mill? Done broke down
I can′t get no grinding, tell me, what's the matter with the mill?

That′s right, grind it

Grind it


Now listen here folks, I don't want no stuff
Can′t bring me my meal, bringin' me the husks
So what's the matter with the mill? Done broke down
What′s the matter with the mill? Done broke down
I can′t get no grinding, tell me, what's the matter with the mill?

Papa been tryin′, my brother too
They both been to the mill, they can't get nothing to do
What′s the matter with the mill? Done broke down
What's the matter with the mill? Done broke down
I can′t get no grinding, tell me, what's the matter with the mill?

Now listen here folks, bear it in mind
If you're going to the mill, you′re just losing time
So what′s the matter with the mill? Done broke down
What's the matter with the mill? Done broke down
I can′t get no grinding, tell me, what's the matter with the mill?

Grind it again

Yeah, babe

Can′t get no grindin', tell me, what′s the matter with the mill?
