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