Song: That Old Delaval Tab
That Old DeLaval
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
Tag: Crankin cream out (G) of that old De- (D) Laval
