Black Cows
12.26.98

In Virginia they have black cows
Black cows here, black cows there
In Virginia they have black cows
They have black cows everywhere.

I never saw a brown cow
A white cow, or a mixed
Because all they have is black cows
In these Virginia hills.

I see them clustered 'round the hay
That the farmer drops for them
I see a field of near-motionless black
As I ride around the bend.

I see the cows of black
In the distance and up close
I wonder why the cows don't get cold
Standing in the field.
