Bush Cow Milk

"Bush Cow Milk," by the late Prof. Howard Benedict Hayes, rearranged, played, and sung by Congress-Woman Jackson Parker. Dedicated to the three brothers, William, Frank, and Steve Talbot

A [?] Bill met a [?] lil'
A lovely girl of some degree
He bought her satin and he bought her silk:
Things of quality
She said, "I don't like satin and I don't want silk
But all I want is some bush cow milk
So please go down and milk a bush cow for me."

Now that made pa Bill stand still
And he said, "Sweetheart, I will."

When the sun shine above
Start getting hot
Lepers are born without any spots
When a great big ship stop crossing the sea

Elephants are roofin' up in coconut trees
When motor-scooters take flight
And say, "Man, I ain't gonna bite."
Sweetheart, I'm telling you too:

When every grain of sand turn to dust
You find one woman a man can trust
I'll milk a bush cow for you

When every grain of sand turn to dust
You find one woman a that man can trust
I'll milk a bush cow for you

When the clouds of above
Stop descending to rain
And Joseph Jenkins Roberts is president again
Yeah, I'll, I'll milk a bush cow for you

When a strain of sand turn to dust
Find one man that a woman can trust
I'll milk a bush cow for you

Now Roberts was Liberia's first president. Tubman is Liberia's eighteenth president. This republic is the oldest independent republic in Africa, and has made more progress in the last decade than in the preceding century

When every grain of sand turn to dust
Find one man that a woman can trust
Then I'll milk, I'll milk a bush cow for you

When the clouds of above stop descending to rain
And Joseph Jenkins Roberts is president again
I'll milk, I'll milk, I'll milk a bush cow for you

When every grain of sand turn to dust
Find one man that a woman can trust
I'll milk a bush cow for you

Well, clouds above stop descending to rain
Joseph Jenkins Roberts is president again
I'll milk a bush cow for you
I'll milk a bush cow for you

Says Bill: "It's impossible to milk a bush cow."

When every grain of sand turn to dust
Find one woman that a man can trust
I'll milk a bush cow for you

When the clouds of above stop descending to rain
And Joseph Jenkins Roberts is president again
Well, I'll milk a bush cow for you

Impossible
