Milk Cow Blues - Edit Version
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
'Cause I ain't had no milk and butter
Since that cow been gone
Well, you got to treat me right, honey
Day by day
Get out your little 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
(Aw, now take it away boys)
Sail on, sail on, sail on little gal, sail on
Sail on, sail on, sail on little gal, sail on
You're gonna keep right on to sailin'
'Til you lose your happy home
Gene Elders on the Fiddle
Aw, here comes Owens guitar
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'
And leave you alone
And if you don't think I'm leavin' big momma
Just count the days I'm gone
You ain't gonna see me
You ain't gonna see my sweet face no more
Lord, you're gonna be one bread and honey
When this world I've gone
Milk Cow Blues
Looked outdoors

'Cause I ain't had no milk and butter

Well, you got to treat me right, honey
Day by day
Get out your little 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
(Aw, now take it away boys)
Sail on, sail on, sail on little gal, sail on
Sail on, sail on, sail on little gal, sail on
You're gonna keep right on to sailin'
