Lyrics

Well, I had a little corn, I put it in a sack
Took it to the mill and come right back
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 a talkin’ all over town
Tellin’ me that mill has done broke down
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, I don’t want no stuff
Can’t bring my meal, you’re bringin’ me the husks
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

My 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
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

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