Donovan Leitch Poor Cow Lyrics

Poor Cow Lyrics

From the album best of donovan ii







I dwell in the north in the green country,



Far I'm here, far I'm here



And I take to my rest at the end of day,



Whilst o'erhead pretty stars do play.



And then I dream along,



Then I make a song



About everything that I've known and felt,



And it makes my sadness melt



Then I wake up in the funny old kind of day,



The rain has gone away,



Watching the children sing and play



In the garden and the roadway.



Up comes a little one singing a song



About a friend she knows called Rosie.



Off to the greenwood you must go, bring-a me one fine posie.



All of a sudden I'm light as air, I feel sad as a butterfly.



Oh, I dwell with my pride and my songs and things



Wearily, oh so wearily



And I dream of the girl with the sunshine eye



Sundaily, whatever she may be.



And then I dream along



Then I make a song



About everything that I've known and felt



And it makes my sadness melt.



Then I wake up in the funny old kind of day,



The rain has gone away



Watching the children sing and play



In the garden and the roadway



Up comes a little one singing a song



About a friend she knows called Rosie.



Off to the greenwood you must go, bring-a me one fine posie.



All of a sudden I'm light as air, I feel sad as a butterfly.



Oh, I dwell in the north in the green country,



Far I'm here, far I'm here



And I dream of the girl with the sunshine eye



Sundaily, whatever she may be.



And then I dream along,



And then I make a song



About everything that I've known and felt,



And it makes my sadness melt.
