Little Cow and Calf Is Gonna Die Blue |
| Hey hey-hey-hey-hey, hey hey hey hey hey |
| Hey hey-hey-hey-hey, hey hey hey hey… |
| And every cow and calf, I believe was born to die |
| I’m a-milk my heifer, milk her in a churn |
| I’ll milk my heifer, I’ll milk her in a churn |
| If you see my |
| Rider, tell her it ain’t a darn thing doin' |
| I wringed my hands, baby, and I wanted to scream |
| I wringed my hands, honey, and I wanted to scream |
| And when I woke up I thought it was all a dream |
| Hey hey-hey-hey-hey, hey hey hey hey |
| Hey hey-hey-hey-hey, hey hey hey hey… |
| And every cow and calf, I believe was born to die |
| Hey hey-hey, I ain’t gonna be here long |
| Hey hey-hey, pretty mama, I ain’t gonna be here long |
| That’s the reason why you hear me singin' my old lonesome song |
| Hey, hey-hey-hey-hey-hey, hey hey hey hey |
| Hey hey-hey-hey-hey, hey hey hey hey hey |
| And every cow’s calf, honey, got to be dyin' |
| I walked the levee from end to end |
| I walked the levee, honey, from end to end |
| I was just tryin' to find, my calf, again |
| I’m feelin' back to my used-to… |
| I feel a notion, back to my used-to-be |
| I have a pretty mama, she don’t care for me |
