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