Subject: RE: Lry origin: Old Jimmy Sutton
It's also on the High Woods Stringband Feed Your Babies Onions CD. I forget all the verses they have on it, though.
Cow and sheep walking through a pasture, Cow says, "Sheep, can't you walk a little faster?" Baaaa!
Sheep says, "Cow, I got a sore toe," Cow says, "Sheep, I did not know." Baaaa!
Me and [?] went a-hunting, Bang! went the gun and down went the mutton, Baaaa!
I can't stand meal, I can't stand mutton, I don't give a damn for Old Jimmy Sutton, If you can't sing that, you can't sing nothin' Baaaaa! [last sung verse has an extra line]
