Songs like this should not perish from the earth! |

Oh well, maybe he will come back and find it! (From the "B" side of "C'est Si Bon". Transcribed by Lee Withers (leewithers@tcfn.org)) PASS THE UDDER UDDER 1. Oh, we grow things mighty big down in Kentucky But there's nothing in that state that can compare To a cow that we once had us And the name of her was Gladys. Boy, you should have seen the neighbors stop and stare. She stood 10 feet tall and had one purple eyeball. It took eight of us to milk her, here is why: She had 27 spigots And the tourists all bought tickets Just to watch us milk and hear us loudly cry-y-y-y... CHORUS: Oh, pass the udder udder and I'll pass it to my brudder And I'll pass the udder udder dis-a-way. So we passed the udder udder and I passed it to my brudder. Oh, we really had our hands full every day. 2. We created quite a spectacle, I grant you, But we milked her just as pretty as you please, And while people said, "How funny," We raked in enough durn money To go out and order ermine BVD's. Father turned her on her back one Sunday morning. Gladys said, "I'm upside down; now what's the gag?" "Well, the reason why," said Pop, "Is so the cream will be on top." "Gosh," the cow said, "in that case, it's in the bag!" CHORUS 3. Now our Gladys was a star in cattle circles, Though she couldn't read or write her name in full. You would think she'd been to college, Although she herself acknowledged That she gained her fame entirely by pull. Gladys said to us one cold and wintry morning, She said, "Milking is the thing I dearly loves, But when I get a cold it lingers And I can't stand icy fingers, So go on back in the house and get your gloves!"

Below is a Wisconsin regional ditty about another large bovine. I believe the actual largest of the cows is the giant Holstein sculpture up on a hill near interstate 94 in western North Dakota. THE BIGGEST COW Words by Peter Berryman (1988); tune traditional (Bill Grogan's Goat) The biggest cow - I ever seen Was over by - Prairie du Chien. Go take a peek - But if you do When she says, "Moo" - You better moo. That ain't quite right - She don't say moo Since she's been here - It's something new Since she been up - Wisconsin way She don't say Moo - She says Moo Hey I grabbed her horns - Climbed on her back And rode her to - Prairie du Sac Which din't take long - Cause when we's through She's only took - One step or two. With her head in - Prairie du Chien She gives her milk - Down by Racine So there the farms - Are full of joy But there is fear - In Illinois rich r |
