Little Cow And Calf Is Gonna Die Blues - Skip James
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 heifer2 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'3
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
