Milk Cow Blues

Milk Cow Blues - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band/Richard Watson/Josh Graves/Doc Watson

Well I woke up this mornin' and I looked out my door

I thought I heard my milk cow

I can tell the way she lows

If you see my milk cow

Won't you please drive her on home

I ain't had no milk and butter

Since my sweet little Jersey cow had gone

Well now you gotta treat me right

Woman day by day

And get out that little prayer book

Get down upon your knees and pray

'Cause you're gonna need yeah

You're gonna need my help someday

Yeah you're gonna be sorry

You treated poor old Josh such a low down way

Sail on little gal

Down on that old evil road you're going down sail alone

Lord Lord mama

What makes you leave your man all alone

You're gonna get up some morning

Old hard working daddy is gonna be gone

Well I'm trying everything baby to get along with you

I'm gonna tell you a-just what I'm gonna do

If you gonna stop this ballin'

Gonna leave you all alone

If you got me wonderin'

Woman well this world is almost gone
