[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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
Oh, let's milk it!
Yeah!
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

[Verse 5]
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

[Outro]
Well, you're gonna be sorry
You treated me this way

Elvis Presley

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
