Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Milk Cow Blues Lyrics






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, nowyou 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.

    Oh HELL yes! I didn’t think anyone could match Bob Wills’ version but this comes damn close. The King would approve!

    Edward Martins : How does one "comment" about Perfection? Nothing could be said to add to what is being heard!

  3. w.... ....

    oh yeah

  4. A.... K....

    Great cover dude

  5. T.... M....

    Superb, but I expect nothing less from Doc. An incredibly musical man, always great things going on in the background that you really want to listen to. Merle's death was a great tragedy. He was an incredible player too although he didn't have his father's voice.. His son Richard has also become a great guitarist.

  6. F.... R....

    Love this rendition.

  7. L.... W....

    Your picture is fucking gross Mike

  8. e.... c....

    Allah u Akbar!

  9. M.... ....

    now this is a truly great version of this jam, thanks!

  10. G.... C....

    What a great version. Doc was a national treasure. What a great blues singer - one of the best ever.

  11. P.... S....

    I have worn out several copies of "Will the Circle" Albums, but this version of "Milk Cow Blues" is a special favorite.

  12. P.... C....

    I really like this version of Son House's Milk Cow Blues.

  13. E.... M....

    I'm surprised that there are hardly any comments. Tis good music Doc Watson.
