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.
