BESSIE THE HEIFER My daddy gave a calf to me for a Christmas present once I picked a little heifer out, Cause both of us was runts She never had no sense but she grew up alright somehow And when it comes to giving milk, she's an educated cow Oh Bessie the Heifer, the queen of all the cows She gave more milk than any law allows In the morning she gave pasteurized At night she give homogenized Bessie the Heifer, the queen of all the cows I took her to the county fair to try to win a prize She knew just what was going on, I saw it in her eyes The contest made her nervous she tried so hard to please That when I tried to milk her, all I got was cottage cheese Oh Bessie the Heifer, the queen of all the cows She gave more milk than any law allows In the morning she gave pasteurized At night she give homogenized Bessie the Heifer, the queen of all the cows I planted me a tater patch to try to earn some dough To take a short vacation with some city folks I know But no one else would milk the cow, no matter how I'd nag So Pa took my vacation, leaving me to hold the bag.
