Sleepy John Estes — Milk Cow Blues

[Verse 1] Now ask sweet mama, let me be her kid She says, "I might get buggies I couldn't keep it hid" Well, she looked at me, she begin to smile Says, "I thought I would use you for my man a while That you just don't let my husband catch you there Now, just, just don't let my husband catch you there" [Verse 2] Now, went upstairs to pack my leavin' trunk I never saw no whiskey, the blues done made me sloppy drunk Say, I never saw no whiskey, blues done made me sloppy drunk Now, I never saw no whiskey but the blues done made me sloppy drunk [Verse 3] Now some said its greens, some says it was beans But it's the slow consumption killin' you by degrees Lord, it's the slow consumption killin' you by degrees Now, it's the slow consumption and it's killin' you by degrees
