Lead
Partridge in the pea patch, pickin' up the peas,
Along comes the bell cow kickin' up her heels!

Chorus (everyone):
Oh, the bell cow, never got a pail,
Oh, the bell cow, catch her by the tail,

Lead
The bell cow has a couple a horns
Ain’t been milked since I was born.

Chorus (everyone):
Oh, the bell cow, never got a pail,
Oh, the bell cow, catch her by the tail,

Lead
One of these days when I learn how,
I'm gonna milk that old bell cow.

(Chorus)

Lead:
Went down to the cornfield to pick a mess of beans,
Along come the bell cow a-pecking at the greens.

(Chorus)

Lead
The milk ain't whipped and the butter ain't fat,
The darned old cow ate my best hat.

(Chorus)

Lead
I milked that bell cow couple a quarts
Sold that milk and I got me a horse.

(Chorus)

Lead
The old bell cow, I milked her in a gourd,
I sold my milk and bought me a Ford.

(Chorus)
