(words & music by K. Arnold)
Well, I woke up this morning,
And I looked out the door.

I can tell that old milk cow
By the way she lowed.

Hold it fellows, that don´t move me.
Let´s get real, real gone for a change.

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.

Well, if you´ve seen my milk cow,
Please ride her on home.
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.
For you´re gonna need,
You´re gonna need your loving daddy´s help someday.
Well, then you´re gonna be sorry
For treating me this way.

Well, believe me, don´t that sun look good going down?
Well, believe me, don´t that sun look good going down?
Well, don´t that old moon look lonesome
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.
I´m gonna quit my crying, I´m gonna leave you alone.

If you don´t believe I´m leaving, you can count the days I´m
gone.
I´m gonna leave.
You´re gonna need your loving daddy´s help someday.
Well, you´re gonna be sorry
You treated me this way.
