7. "You blind fool, you crazy fool, Can't you never see ?
It's nothing but a milk cow Your granny sent to me."
8. "I've traveled this world over A thousand miles or more; But a saddle on a milk cow
I never did see before."

I found a head lying on the pillow Where my head ought to be.
10. "You come here, my little wifie, And explain this thing to me:
How come a head lying on the pillow Where my head ought to be ?"
11.  "You blind fool, you crazy fool, Can't you never see?
It's nothing but a cabbage head Your granny sent to me."
