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
