Please please milk the cow
Please please milk the cow
Please please milk the cow
Please please milk the cow

I took the truck to town the other day
Had to hear what Dr. Brown would say
Mama's poorly, movin' real slow

The doctor said to me, Leroy, here's what you have to do
You need to give her the gift of a lift from a jug of mountain dew
She thinks alcohol's a sin, so take some milk and put some in
And she'll get a belt without the need to say

Please don't tempt me now
With that evil devil's brew
Keep it far away from here
Whether whiskey, wine, or beer

It's the very thing that drove your daddy mad

So I milked the cow a bucketful
I gave each udder an extra special pull
Took a jug of shine, poured some in there real slow

I put a little bit more of it in every day
It was a potent mixture, if I dropped a match in there it'd blow me away

And my mama gulped it down, best drink she had ever found
Then she grabbed my arm, 'cause she just had to say

Please don't sell that cow
Don't you ever let it go
Never let it get away
I don't care how much they pay

It's the best damn cow that we have ever had

[SOLO]

Please don't sell that cow
Don't you ever let it go
Don't you ever let it stray
If you do I'll run away
Please don't sell that cow
Can't you see that I'm in love
Can't you see how much I yearn
When those big teats start to churn
Please don't sell that cow
Do you think it has some kin
Do you think it will be long
Till you milk that cow again
