That Old DeLaval

by: Verne Garrison March 13, 2007

Valley Park, Mo.

(D) We had to care for (G) three old milk cows (D) daily

They swaggered when they walked, doing their (A )moo

Every (D) morning every night (G) regular you (D) see

No matter what else we (A) had to (D) do

Brown Swiss, (G) Jersey and (D) Holstein

Big old mammas their bags dragging the (A) ground

They (D) had to be milked (G) if you know what I (D) mean

Twice a day, thats where (A) I could be (D) found

Fat, wide tails would (G) slap me in the (D) eye

Maybe a heavy hoof on a sore bare (A) toe

Squirt (D) the cat (G) in the face, on the (D) sly

Humming and (A) singing as we (D) go

Pour that milk (G) in the old De- (D)Laval

Crank it into a rich, rich (A) cream

Seven (D) days to (G) fill a five gallon (D) can-now

It all seems (A) like a (D) dream

Take the can to (G) town on Saturday (D) night

Old man Roemers Creamery gave us our (A) pay

A (D) dime for popcorn and a (G) show at the (D) site

Twenty cents for a gallon of (A) gas for the old Model (D) A

Those were the (G) days during WW (D) Two

I was only about (A) ten

Every (D) family had war (G) support to (D) do

We all worked (A) together back (D) then

Crankin cream out of (G) that old De (D)-Laval

It seemed so hard to do (A) then

But (D) oh how I (G) yearn for those times (D) now

Only memories can (A) take me back (D) again
