ICE67 - I couldn’t find your cow (Radio Edit) Lyrics

Hey hey ah hey hey ah hey
I couldn't find your cow Reverend John (what's going on? what's going on?)
The search is long but the hope is strong (the hope is strong)

I searched high and long yesterday
In mountains in valleys and through every bay
The cow had vanished she'd made her escape
Maybe she's hiding - that's something to contemplate

I looked in the barn and on the fields by the sea
Asked a horse but he just said "no" to me
I called the dog but he gave no reply
Just barking and howling - what else could I try?

Hey hey ah hey hey ah hey
Hey hey ah hey hey ah hey

Reverend John I ask you still
Bless me now though I'm a bit ill at will
If the cow is missing till Christmastime
Perhaps she'll find her shelter in the meantime?

Hey hey ah hey hey ah hey
Hey hey ah hey hey ah hey

I couldn't find your cow Reverend John
(what's going on? what's going on?)
The search is long but the hope is strong (the hope is strong)
]
But one day she appeared all of a sudden
Cursing loudly with milk in her udders
Reverend John laughed and said to me:
"The cow is back that's good you see!
Now we'll milk her first - then we'll butcher her too!"
