lyrics

Legend says, Christmas Eve
The cattle wait for folks to leave
And they lock the doors, they gather round and kneel
To tell each other how they feel

A farmer thought, I wonder if
There is any truth to it
So he hid himself underneath a bale of hay
To hear what his cows had to say

One cow said, "Oh my dear
The master won't live out the year"
And they stood and stared, apathetic and bemused
At this gruesome bit of news

Terrified, up he leapt
And prayed the cows were incorrect
But he slipped and fell, broke his neck upon the ground
It's there the farmer's corpse was found

So it is, so it goes
Careful what the livestock knows
Don't worry much about what they have to say
Or you'll die
