about

Traditional African American folksong with original lyrics by Andy Furgeson/Red Yarn

lyrics

Did you feed my cow? Yes, ma’am
Could you tell me how? Yes, ma’am
What did you feed her? Corn and hay
What did you feed her? Corn and hay
Did you milk her good? Yes, ma’am
Did you milk her like you should? Yes, ma’am
How did you milk her? Squish, squish, squish
How did you milk her? Squish, squish, squish
Did my cow get sick? Yes, ma’am
Was she covered with tick? Yes, ma’am
How did she die? Uh, uh, uh
How did she die? Uh, uh, uh
Did the buzzards come? Yes, ma’am
Did the buzzards come? Yes, ma’am
How did they come? Flop, flop, flop
How did they come? Flop, flop, flop
Did you feed my cow?
Did you feed my cow?

Did you steal my cow? No, ma’am
Did you steal my cow? Uhh, yes, ma’am
Why did you do it? I can’t say
Why did you do it? Thought it’d be okay
Did you milk her good? Yes, ma’am
Taking everything you could? Yes, ma’am
Did you sell that cream? Sure enough
But did you pay me anything? Here’s a couple bucks
Did my cow get sick? Yes, ma’am
And covered with ticks? Yes, ma’am
But did my old cow die? No, not yet
Then tell me why did you lie? Trust me I regret
You ‘spect me to forgive you? No, ma’am
You ‘spect me to forget? No, ma’am
Then what you gonna do? I’m gonna make it right
Aw, what you gonna do? I’ll bring her home tonight
And I will feed your cow!
You’re gonna feed my cow
I’m gonna feed your cow
Yeah you’re gonna feed my cow
We’re gonna feed that cow
