No Cow Left Behind
A TEACHER’S LAMENT
Written and Performed by John Dominick Carratello
Get all the cattle to Abilene on time,
Taking them to slaughter—every son and daughter!
Get all the cattle to Abilene on time.
We’ll have No Cow Left Behind!
Old boss man said, “It’s time to save each head.
Make sure they do more grazin’ before they get to bed.
You’ve got to do more ridin', ropin', brandin', too.
And, if they don’t make it, well, we’ll blame it all on you!”
CHORUS
I am a teacher. At least I used to be.
My students couldn’t wait ‘til they’d arrive.
Then my job description got buried in the dirt!
Now, I’m just a wrangler on a drive.
CHORUS
Keep them dogies movin’ down the
line!
Folks would always come around from places near and far
To see our operation. We were always up to par.
But, now, the boss man wants us all to be like all the rest.
And, Grade-A Beef’s the standard, Whether you are PRIME, CHOICE, or SELECT.
Get all the cattle to Abilene on time,
Taking them to slaughter—every son and daughter!
Get all the cattle to Abilene on time.
We’ll have No Cow Left Behind.
We’ll have No Cow Left Behind.
And I think we’re runnin’ out of time!
