Tell me, milk cow, what on earth is wrong with you? Tell me, milk cow, what on earth is wrong with you? Now, you've left you a calf, hoo hoo And your milk is turnin' blue Your calf is hungry, I believe he needs a suck Your calf is hungry, hoo hoo, I believe he needs a suck But your milk is turnin' blue, hoo hoo I believe he's outta luck Now I feel like milkin' and my cow won't come I feel like churnin' it and my, milk won't turn I'm cryin' please, please don't do me wrong If you see my milk, oh baby now please drive home My milk cow been ramblin', hoo hoo, for miles around My milk cow been ramblin', hoo hoo, for miles around Well, now she been troublin' some other man bull cow Hoo hoo, in this strange man town
