Well, I woke up this morning and I looked out the door.

I can tell that that old milk cow..I can tell the way 

she lowed.
                D                                    A
Well, if you've seen my milk cow..please ride her on home.
        E                      D                     A   E
I ain't had no milk or butter, since that cow's been gone.

Well, I tried to treat you right..day by day.

Get out your little prayer book, get down on your knees 

and pray.
                 D
For you're gonna neeeeed..you're gonna need your loving 
                 A
daddy's help someday.
                  E               D                    A  E
Well, then you're gonna be sorry..for treating me this way.

CHORUS:
E     A
Well, believe me, don't that sun look good going down?
      D                                          A
Well, believe me, don't that sun look good going down?
      E
Well, don't that old moon look lonesome?
D                    A      E
when your baby's not around.

Well, I tried everything to get along with you.

I'm gonna tell you what I'm going do.
          D                                   
I'm gonna quit my crying, I'm gonna leave you alone.
   A
If you don't believe I'm leaving, you can count the days 
    
I'm gone.
          D
I'm gonna leee...ave...you're gonna need your loving daddy's 
         A
help someday.
             E               D                   A
Well, you're gonna be sorry..you treated me this way.(Fade.)
