Milkcow Blues Boogie lyrics - Elvis Presley

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...
