Wild Cow Blues

Yeah I got up this morning : I was feeling awful bad

I was thinking about the good time mama : mmm Lord me and my baby once have had

Babe I woke up this morning : I looked down the road

I think I heard my wild cow mama : when she begin to low

If you see my wild cow buddy : please tell her [hurry, come back] home

Lord I ain't had no milk and butter : since my wild cow been gone

I'm going to the bottom : just to hear my wild cow moan

If she moans so lonesome : I'm going to bring my wild cow home

My wild cow got a horn : just long as your right arm

She yields so much milk and butter : I hate to see my wild cow leave home

It take a ??? to roll : and a rocking chair to rock

The girl I'm loving : she talk that old baby‑talk

Lord I don't feel welcome : I say nowhere I go

Lord I said good girl I'm loving : she done drove me away from her door

You can read out your hymn book : you got your Bible too

Fall down on your knees : ask the good Lord to help you

Because you going to need : you going to need my help some day

You won't quit your running around woman : please quit your lowdown ways

Lord I went home at night : I looked out my door

There some other man had my wild cow : she could low

If you see my wild cow : please drive her back home

Lord I ain't had no milk and butter : since he stole my wild cow and gone

Now good morning : blues how do you do

I cried all night long Lordy : and I can't get along with you
