Alice Gerrard - How Now Brown Cow

I left my home when I was 16
Rambled the country around
A little of this and a little of that
Never could settle down.

Now that’s okay when you’re sweet 16
And you ain’t got a care in the world,
But when you hit 35 and your future’s on ice
You gotta make a change somewhere.

So I said to myself and myself agreed
(Girl) you got to have stability
Up in the morning, to sleep at night
And some kind of daily routine

A sense of purpose is what you need
Then it came like a voice from on high
Find you someone to be your day to day pal
A companion in day to day life.

Someone to help take care of you
Someone you can care for too
Someone to give reason for settling down
To talk to when you’re feeling blue

Confusion reigned for a little while
As I sorted all the options out
And when the fog cleared, two choices remained
Either get a man (wife) or a cow

How now brown cow
Don’t you know I love you I do
You’re a bony old critter with a mean old tail
But your heart is always true

How now brown cow
Don’t you know I love you I do
You come through in the morning and again at night
And I doodle y do love you.
