When I woke up this morning, my milk cow was gone
If you see my milk cow, Lord send her home
Halla please, please don't do me wrong
Don't do me wrong

I ain't had no milk and butter since my cow been gone
Well I looked for my milk cow, looked high and low
Somebody told me she was walkin' the down the road
Halla please, please don't do me wrong
Don't do me wrong

If you see my milk cow, Lord Lord send her home

Well ma, your calf is hungry, I believe she needs a suck
But your milk is turning blue, I believe she's out of luck
Halla please, please don't do me wrong
Don't do me wrong

I ain't had no milk and butter since my cow been gone
Since my cow been gone

Well I woke up this morning, looked around my bed
Looked for my milk cow, got butter instead
Halla please, please don't do me wrong
Don't do me wrong
If you see my milk cow, please drive her home
Drive her home
