Milk Cow Blues

From Wikipedia:

“Milk Cow Blues” is a blues song written and originally recorded by Kokomo Arnold in September 1934. In 1935 and 1936, he recorded four sequels designated “Milk Cow Blues No. 2” through No. 5. The song made Arnold a star, and was widely adapted by artists in the blues, Western swing and rock idioms. […]

Elvis Presley version

Elvis Presley, on guitar, accompanied by Scotty Moore on guitar and Bill Black on double bass, recorded a rockabilly version retitled “Milkcow Blues Boogie” at Sun Records in November or December 1954. The arrangement was closer to Wills’ version than to the Arnold original. Elvis begins the song as a slow ballad, then adds a spoken interlude by halting after the first four lines: “Hold it, fellas! That don’t MOVE me! Let’s get real, real gone for a change,” prompting the trio to kick it into rockabilly gear.

Sun Records released the song as a single on January 8, 1955, with “You’re a Heartbreaker” as the flipside. RCA Victor Records also released the single in December 1955. It was later included on Presley’s 1959 album A Date with Elvis. […]

In 1997, during his “Flaming Pie Radio Special,” Paul McCartney played a few seconds of “Milk Cow Blues” on guitar.
