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. 

Well, if you`ve seen my milk cow, 
Please ride her on home. 
I ain`t had no milk or 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. 
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 going 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.
