When a cow is lying down You know it's gonna rain And if it's gonna rain It's gonna rain All god damn day Gonna rain on your parade Rain on your parade And everything you made Don't doubt the cow You know it'll make you mad Don't doubt the cow You know it'll make you sad Don't doubt the cow It'll make you blue
And if it makes you blue You'll have to get yourself a clue Amelia and I were getting' nasty Cow was facin' north And now her belly's rising up Must have been a curse I'll never forget that old wise tale I was told by rail That if you doubt the cow You will surely fail Don't doubt the cow
