[Chorus]
D# A# D#
I'm countin' the cattle 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
D#
I'm countin' the cattle
A#
just to check if they're alive
D# A# D#
I'm countin' the cattle 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
D# A# D#
I'm countin' the cattle once again.
[Vers 1]
D#
Well, the first little cow
D#
she went for a climb
A#
she went up the mountain
D#
and there were just nine
D#
and the second little cow
D#
she went out for a date
A#
discovered it was wolfie
D#
and then we were eight.
[Chorus]
D# A# D#
I'm countin' the cattle 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
D#
I'm countin' the cattle
A#
just to check if they're alive
D# A# D#
I'm countin' the cattle 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
D# A# D#
I'm countin' the cattle once again.
[Vers 2]
D#
Well, number three and number four
D#
they were longhorned chicks
A#
they met some horny bulls
D#
and I'm only contin' six
D#
and number five, six and seven
D#
went out without their key
A#
and now they're hanging at the butcher's
D#
and I'm only countin' three.
[Chorus]
D# A# D#
I'm countin' the cattle 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
D#
I'm countin' the cattle
A#
just to check if they're alive
D# A# D#
I'm countin' the cattle 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
D# A# D#
I'm countin' the cattle once again.
[Vers 3]
D#
Well, the 8th and the 9th
D#
said: "we're never havin' fun"
A#
and then they packed their things and
D# A# D# N.C.
left and now I'm only countin' one
D#
Now, u see, we're alone me and Molly
A#
she's brownspotted, cheerful and she's jolly
D#
'Know she milks herself everyday
A#
and she promise' me that she will stay
D#
but our son is a muuh-tant but who gives a damn I mean
A# D#
when the folks downtown call us mister and mam.
[Chorus]
D# A# D#
I'm countin' the cattle 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
D#
I'm countin' the cattle
A#
just to check if they're alive
D# A# D#
I'm countin' the cattle 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
D# A# D#
I'm countin' the cattle once again.
