Little Cow And Calf Is Gonna Die Blues

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
