Lyrics

"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
