Milk Cow Blues Lyrics - Mark Knopfler

Well I woke up this mornin', looked outdoors 

I can tell my milk cow, I can tell by the way she lows 

If you see my milk cow, please drive her on home 

'cause I ain't had no milk and butter since that cows been gone 

Well you gotta treat me right honey day by day 

Get out your little prayer book, get down upon your knees and pray 

'cause you're gonna need me, you're gonna need my help someday 

Lord you're gonna be sorry, oh, you treated me this a way 

Aw, now take it away boys 

Sail on, sail on, sail on little gal, sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on little gal, sail on 

You're gonna keep right on sailing till you lose your happy home 

Well good evening, don't that sun look good going down 

I said well good evening, don't that sun look good going down 

Don't that ol' army cot look lonely when your lover ain't no place around 

Well I tried everything baby to get along with you 

Now I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna do 

I'm gonna stop my crying, gonna leave you alone 

And if you don't think I'm leavin' big momma 

Just count the days I'm gone 

You ain't gonna see me, you ain't gonna see my sweet face no more 

Lord you gonna be wondering honey where in this world I've gone
