Or else a yellow cow comes down
To splash a while and have a drink,
But when she goes I still can hear
The water say, "And do you think?"
To splash a while and have a drink,
But when she goes I still can hear
The water say, "And do you think?"

MY HEART
My heart is beating up and down,
Is walking like some heavy feet.
My heart is going every day,
And I can hear it jump and beat.
Is walking like some heavy feet.
My heart is going every day,
And I can hear it jump and beat.
At night before I go to sleep
I feel it beating in my head;
I hear it jumping in my neck
And in the pillow on my bed.
I feel it beating in my head;
I hear it jumping in my neck
And in the pillow on my bed.
And then I make some little words
To go along and say with it—
The men are sailing home from Troy,
And all the lamps are lit.
To go along and say with it—
The men are sailing home from Troy,
And all the lamps are lit.
The men are sailing home from Troy,
And all the lamps are lit.
And all the lamps are lit.
