Willie Nelson and Francine Reed - Milk Cow Blues

Well, I woke up this mornin', looked out my door
I could tell my milk cow, could tell by the way she lows
So if you see my milk cow, won't you drive her on home
'Cause I ain't had no milk and butter since my cow's been gone

Now you've gotta treat me right, baby, day by day
Get out your little prayer book
Get down on your knees and pray
'Cause you're gonna need
You're gonna need my help someday
Yeah, and you're gonna be sorry
That you treated me this way, hey, yeah

Well, I said sail, sail on
I said, sail on pretty gal, sail on
I said, sail, sail on
I said, sail on pretty gal, sail on
You're gonna keep right on sailing
Until you lose your happy home
Let me hear you, Mickey

Well, I've tried everything little woman
To get along with you
Now I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna do
Gon' quit my cryin', leave you alone
If you don't think I'm leavin'
You can just count the days I'm gone

'Cause you ain't gonna see
You ain't gonna see my sweet face no more
And you're goin' to be wondering
Where in this world I'm gone
Milk cow blues
