kate rusby - cowsong lyrics

Loading...

there was a farm on yonder hill, up where the wind it blows-o
there lived a mother and her son and their bonnie old brown cow-o.

this cow was a bonnie cow but they needed money most-o
so she said, “please take the cow, to market you must go-o.”

so he’s walked along the way, he’s walked but half the day-o
and there he’s spied a fair young maid, she says, “where are you bound-o?”

i’ll take this cow along the way then i will, sell her on market day.
“you see this bonnie cow of mine? i’m taking her to market-o

then i’ll return to my mother dear with money in my hand-o.”
so she’s took this young man’s arm, she says, “you handsome sir-o,

come sit you down in the soft green gr-ss, come rest awhile with me-o.
” she’s kissed him long, she’s kissed him strong, a fair game she did play-o,

and after playing not so hard, this young man he gave way-o.
i’ll take this cow along the way then i will, sell her on market day.

when this young man he awoke both girl and cow were gone-o
gone also were the shoes he wore and the trousers he had on-o.

come all you young men near and far, never heed a maiden’s calling,
never trust a girl with your mother’s cow, never let your trousers go
falling downin the green gr-ss,
falling down in the green gr-ss
