Went down the cornfield to pick a mess of beans 
Along came the bell cow takin��� after me. Oh the bell cow never got a pail Oh the bell cow never got a pail. (O-hoo) 
One of these days when I learn how, 
I���m gonna milk the darned old cow. Oh the bell cow never got a pail Oh the bell cow never got a pail. 
(Fiddle Fill) 
The milk tastes good ���til the butter ain���t fat Darned old cow ain���t my best pat Oh the bell cow never got a pail 
Oh the bell cow never got a pail. (Fiddle Fill) (Oh Jersey) 
One of these days when I learn how, I���m gonna milk the darned old cow. 
Oh the bell cow never got a pail Oh the bell cow never got a pail. 
(Fiddle Fill) 
The old bell cow never knew how to court Sold the milk and I got me a horse. Oh the bell cow never got a pail 
Oh the bell cow never got a pail. (Fiddle Fill) The old bell cow she had a couple horns 
Ain���t been milked since I been born. 
Oh the bell cow never got a pail Oh the bell cow never got a pail. Way down yonder in Arkansas 
The bell cow hoofed her mammy and pa. (Fiddle Fill)
