MILK MAN BLUES
(Williams)


Yas Yas Girl (Merline Johnson) - 1939



Early ev'ry mornin' the milkman bring my milk to me
He's got the best milk in town 'cause it's sweet as it can be
Now, early ev'ry mornin' the milkman bring my milk to me
He's got the best milk in town 'cause it's sweet as it can be

Soon in the mornin' he knocks on my door
Sayin', "Come and get your milk 'cause it's better than before"
Now, soon in the mornin' he knocks upon my door
Sayin', "Come and get your milk 'cause it's better than before"

Like my milk in the mornin', like to have it for coffee and tea
And when my milkman don't come, that sure don't please me
Now, like my milk in the mornin', have to have it for my coffee and tea
And when my milkman don't come, that sure don't please poor me

I ask all the people where can he be
If anybody happens to see him, tell him to bring my milk to me
Now, I ask all the people where can my milkman be
If anybody happens to see him, tell him to bring my milk to me

Milkman, milkman, how could you be so mean
You got me drinkin' your milk, now you can't be seen
Milkman, milkman, how could you be so mean
You got me drinkin' your milk, now you can't be seen
