Milk Lyrics

When I was a kid, just starting to grow

Helping out Grandpa, learning all I could know

The barn was alive with the morning light

I'd grab the pail and do my best to get it right

Grandpa said, Son, take that cow in the stall

Be steady and careful, don't rush it at all

I set up my stool, thought I had it made

But I didn't notice the big mistake I'd made

Out in the field, I found one alone

A cow with one udder, standing on its own

I grabbed my pail, thought I'd struck gold

But that wasn't milk—it's a story to be told

Mama poured a bowl, gave it a try

Her face went pale, she couldn't deny

This milk is sour, it's all gone wrong

What did you do while we were gone

Daddy walked in, took one little sip

His grin grew wide as he bit his lip

Son, you've done something you shouldn't do

That milk's from a bull, not a cow in the crew

Out in the field, I found one alone

A cow with one udder, standing on its own

I grabbed my pail, thought I'd struck gold

But that wasn't milk—it's a story to be told

Grandpa shook his head, trying not to laugh

That's no dairy cow, just do the math

Horns and no milk, son, it's easy to see

You've made a memory that'll outlive me

Now the neighbors all know, the story's spread wide

The boy who milked a bull, it's my claim to pride

I'll never live it down, but that's okay

It's a farm tale to tell till my dying day

Now every family dinner, the story gets told

About the day I was brave but too bold

Grandpa slaps his knee, Mama just grins

And I'm reminded where humility begins

Out in the field, I found one alone

A cow with one udder, standing on its own

I grabbed my pail, thought I'd struck gold

But that wasn't milk—it's a story to be told

So here's a lesson for the young and green

Know your cows before you're keen

Listen to Grandpa, don't be misled

Or you'll end up milking the bull instead
