Milk Bucket Boogie by Red Foley Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 1952

[Verse 1]
Now every morning 'bout five o'clock
The old alarm clock says "Wake up, Doc!"
I jump out of bed and I hit the floor
I gotta get busy, do the morning chore

[Chorus]
It's the milk bucket boogie, it's a wonderful sound
Oh the milk bucket boogie
When the milk comes streamin' down

[Verse 2]
I grab the milk bucket and I swing it on my arm
I'm in a big hurry to get to the barn
Greet ol' Jersey with a good good morn
Fatten her up on the best of corn

[Chorus]
It's the milk bucket boogie, it's a wonderful sound
Oh the milk bucket boogie
When the milk comes streamin' down
[Verse 3]
Well I feed ol' Jers on the best of eats
She's the best dern cow I've ever seen
She eats mighty hardy, and it must be good
'Cause she gives enough milk for the whole neighborhood

[Chorus]
It's the milk bucket boogie, it's a wonderful sound
Oh the milk bucket boogie
When the milk comes streamin' down

[Verse 4]
Oh Jers seems happy, she never complains
Winter, Summer, she never does change
Stays so fat and she never goes dry
She won the blue ribbon at the county fair

[Chorus]
It's the milk bucket boogie, it's a wonderful sound
Oh the milk bucket boogie
When the milk comes streamin' down
