Milk Cow Blues

Well, I woke up this mornin'

Looked outdoors

I can tell my milk cow

I can tell by the way she lows

If you see my milk cow

Please drive her on home

I aint had no milk and butter

Since that cow's been gone.

Well, you got to treat me right honey

Day by day

Get out your lil' prayer book

Get down upon your knees and pray

'Cause you're gonna need me

You're gonna need my

Help someday

Lord, you're goin' to be sorry

You treated me this way.

(Now take it away boys.)

(instrumental)

(That's Benny Hucklefield on the piano.)

(That's Rick McRay on the guitar.)

Sail on lil' gal, sail on, sail on,

Sail on lil' gal, sail on

You're gonna keep right on sailin'

'Til you lose you happy home.

(instrumental)

(That's Benny and Rick)

Well, good evenin'

Don't that sun look good goin' down

I said well, good evenin'

Don't that sun look good goin' down

And don't that ol' army cot look lonely

When your lover ain't no place around?

Well, I tried everything, baby

To get along with you

And now I'm gonna tell you

What I'm gonna do

I'm gonna stop my cryin'

Gonna leave you alone

And if you don't think I'm leavin' big momma

Just count those days I'm gone.

You aint gonna see me

You aint gonna see my sweet face no more

Now you're gonna be one big honey

Where in this world I've gone.

Milk cow blues, yeah, yeah...
