Milk 'Em In The Morning Blues

I Got the Milk 'Em in the Mornin', Feed 'Em, Milk 'Em in the Evenin' Blues - Tennessee Ernie Ford/Kay Starr/Eddie Kirk

I got the milk 'em in the mornin' feed 'em

Milk 'em in the evenin' blues

This old barnyard heffer

Got me blue down to my shoes

I get up in the mornin' before anthing stirs

I get smacked with a tail full of cockle burs

I got the milk 'em in the mornin' feed 'em

Milk 'em in the evenin' blues

I got the milk 'em in the mornin' feed 'em

Milk 'em in the evenin' blues

This ole wall-eyed Jersey

Ain't worth the cut that she chews

I work hard all day a-bringin' in my crops

Then I have to milk you

And you won't give nine drops

I got the milk 'em in the mornin' feed 'em

Milk 'em in the evenin' blues

So stand still you leather headed old heffer

I'll hang an odd on you at the rail in a minute

Sick and tired comin' out

Here every cold mornin'

Tryin' to milk you now stand still

I got the milk 'em in the mornin' feed 'em

Milk 'em in the evenin' blues

I don't know why I don't sell you

Except look at the money I'd loose

You out your foot in the bucket

Kick over the stool

I swear I'm gonna swap you

For a blue nosed mule

I got the milk 'em in the mornin' feed 'em

Milk 'em in the evenin' blues

I got the milk 'em in the mornin' feed 'em

Milk 'em in the evenin' blues

Now look a-here old heffer

I'm really gonna tell you some news

Even though I said

You wouldn't give nine squirts

Bless your old heart

I love you so much it hurts

I got the milk 'em in the mornin' feed 'em

Milk 'em in the evenin' blues (get over gal)
