FATHER PUT THE COW AWAY
As recorded by Bud Messner and Molly Darr


1. An old maid woke and saw a burglar standin' in her room;
She didn't yell, she didn't scream, and she didn't grab a broom.
She says, "You're welcome to my door, you're such a handsome chap."
Instead of callin' for a cop, she sat right on his lap.

CHO:
"Father put the cow away; get her out of sight.
I am heavy-hearted, I cannot milk tonight.
It ain't fair to this here cow for me to try and milk her now.
Father put the cow away-- I cannot milk tonight.
Tra-la-la-la-la, Tra-la-la-la-la, Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la."

CHORUS

2. A boy and a gal were a-ridin' in the backseat of a car;
She says, "I want attention! Quit smokin' that cigar!"
He dropped the butt; they took a kiss; then what do you suppose?
They hit a bump, the flivver jumped; and she bit off his nose!

CHORUS

~SH
