Wild Cow Gravy

Purt near all my kinfolk come from up in Arkansas
They's so doggone many of 'em I can't start to count em all
When us kids would all get hungry
We'd hunt down a momma cow
We'd head and heel and milk her
I'm gonna tell you how

Aunt Claudie she would duck walk
Right up to that wild milk cow
A fruit jar in her hand I can almost see her now
It was udderly divine the way she filled that fruit jar up
It didn't look like much, but it was always just enough

Eatin' wild cow gravy and drinkin' mountain dew
It's good enough for me by goll' It's good enough for you
It'll make you live forever even if you don't want to
Eatin' wild cow gravy and drinkin' mountain dew

Black strap molasses and some good Norwegian bread
Will swell your belly up and fill your pencil full of lead
But eatin' wild cow gravy and drinkin' mountain dew
Will make you live forever even if you don't want to

I scratch my head and wonder how'd I come to live this long
After all the reckless ramblin' and the crazy stuff I've done
Eatin' wild cow gravy and drinkin' mountain dew
Will make you live forever even if you don;t want to

Eatin' wild cow gravy and drinkin' mountain dew
It's good enough for me by goll' It's good enough for you
It'll make you live forever even if you don't want to
Eatin' wild cow gravy and drinkin' mountain dew
