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 bu*ter 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.
