Milk Cow's Calf Blues

The milk cow's missing.
If you see her, send her home.
Someone needs a suck.

An old Sleepy John Estes song became a famous Robert Johnson song and eventually reached its way to Bob Dylan, who recorded several takes of it for "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" album during 1962. It didn't make the album. This is a standard blues, combining sickness, sex and cheating. The metaphors barely hide the subject matter (though to explain the blue milk: this is a fungal spread):

Tell me, milkcow, what on earth is wrong with you?
Ooh, milkcow, what on earth is wrong with you?
Now, you have a little calf, hoo hoo, and your milk is turnin' blue

Oh, your calf is hungry, I believe he needs a suck
Now, your calf is hungry, I believe he needs a suck
But your milk is turnin' blue, hoo hoo, I believe he's outta luck

Now, I feel like milkin' and my cow won't come
I feel like churnin' it and my milk won't turn
I'm cryin', please, please, don't do me wrong
If you see my milk cow, baby, now how, please, drive her home

But my milkcow been ramblin', hoo hee, for miles around
But my milkcow been ramblin', hoo hoo, for miles around
Well, now how can you suck on some other man's bull cow?
Hoo hoo, in this strange man's town
