"Milkcow Blues Boogie" lyrics

Oh, well, I woke up this morning
And I looked out the door
I can tell that old milk cow
By the way she lowed

(Hold it fellows, that don't move me)
(Let's get real, real gone for a change)

Well, I woke up this morning
And I looked out the door
I can tell that that old milk cow
I can tell the way she lowed

Now, if you've seen my milk cow
Please ride her on home
I ain't had no milk and butter
Since that cow's been gone

Well, I tried to treat you right
Day by day
Get out your little prayer book
Get down on your knees and pray
For you're gonna need
You're gonna need
Your loving daddy's help someday
Well, then you're gonna be sorry
For treating me this way

Oh, let's milk it!

Yeah!

Well, believe me, don't that sun
Look good going down?
Well, believe me, don't that sun
Look good going down?
Well, don't that old moon look lonesome
When your baby's not around?

Well, I tried everything to get along with you
I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna quit my crying
I'm gonna leave you alone
If you don't believe I'm leaving
You can count the days I'm gone
I'm gonna leave
You're gonna need your loving daddy's help someday

Well, you're gonna be sorry
You treated me this way
Mm-mm...
