Lewis Franco: Songs and Lyrics
You Wouldn't Have A Cowboy Without A Cow
(Lewis Franco - from Your Own True Song cd)
Oh you take her for granted, and you treat her lord knows how
But if you were without her, think of where you would be now
You wouldn’t have Ben and you wouldn’t have Jerry
You wouldn’t have a Burger King or a Dairy Queen
And what would Dallas call its football team?
‘Cause you wouldn’t have a cowboy without a cow
Oh the cow is our friend, a friend until the end
She’s so gentle and so pure, and she can even make manure
Now you wouldn’t have leather jackets, hot cocoa in those packets
You might have tennis rackets, but who needs ‘em anyhow?
‘Cause you wouldn’t have Ben and you wouldn’t have Jerry
You wouldn’t have a Burger King or a dairy farmer
So please don’t harm her
‘Cause you wouldn’t have a cowboy without a cow
Oh the cow is our friend, a friend until the end
She lets us drink her milk, but I cry over what we’ve spilt
