Lyrics Willie Nelson

Willie Nelson

Milk Cow Blues

Well, I woke up this morning

Looked out my door

I could tell my milk cow

Could tell by the way she lows

So if you see my milk cow

Won't you drive her on home?

'Cause I ain't had no milk and butter

Since my cow's been gone

Now you better treat me right, baby, day by day

Get out your little prayer book

Get down on your knees and pray

'Cause you're gonna need my help someday

Yeah, and you're gonna be sorry that you treated me this way

Well, I said sail, sail on

I said sail on, pretty gal, sail on

You're gonna keep right on sailing 'til you lose your happy home

Let me hear you, Mickey

I've tried everything, good woman, to get along with you

Now I'm gonna tell what I'm gonna do

Quit my crying

Leave you alone

If you don't think I'm leaving, you can just count the days I'm gone

'Cause you ain't gonna see me

You ain't gonna see my sweet face no more

And you're going to be wondering where in this world I'm gone

You can count on me
