The old black bull
got stuck in the mud
for six hours we pushed and we pried
finally took four horses
to pull him free
and when we got our ropes untied
he looked up at the sky
then he give out a big sigh
and he laid down his head and he died
we started for town
but the truck broke down
we walked home five miles in the rain
and weâd have been glad for that
but we had hay on the ground
and the timing was kind of a shame
and the romance ainât completely gone
to this cowboy life weâve chose
but the bliss that Iâd been counting on
well it comes and then it goes
I could have been a lawyer or something
but itâs too late for that now
cause the only thing I know anything about
is a damned old hereford cow
well the creek come up
took the watergap down
our yearlings were nowhere to be found
only taken us a week to gather em all
be easier the second time around
at least thatâs what I thought
till I seen Shorty there looking blue
just before we left for town
he turned our horses out there too
(they went with the yearlings)
and the romance ainât completely gone
but itâs wearing kind of thin
I know that thereâs a lot of things
I maybe could have been
I could have been a fireman
but itâs too late for that now
cause the only thing I know anything about
is a damned old hereford cow
no the romance ainât completely gone
to this cowboy life weâve chose
but the bliss that Iâd been counting on
well it comes and then it goes
I could have been a lot of things
and I guess I still could now
but the only thing I really care about
is a damned old hereford cow
