Poor Cow Lyrics - Donovan

I dwell in the north in the green country, 

Far I'm here, far I'm here 

And I take to my rest at the end of day, 

Whilst o'erhead pretty stars do play. 

And then I dream along, 

Then I make a song 

About everything that I've known and felt, 

And it makes my sadness melt 

Then I wake up in the funny old kind of day, 

The rain has gone away, 

Watching the children sing and play 

In the garden and the roadway. 

Up comes a little one singing a song 

About a friend she knows called Rosie. 

Off to the greenwood you must go, bring-a me one fine posie. 

All of a sudden I'm light as air, I feel sad as a butterfly. 

Oh, I dwell with my pride and my songs and things 

Wearily, oh so wearily 

And I dream of the girl with the sunshine eye 

Sundaily, whatever she may be. 

And then I dream along 

Then I make a song 

About everything that I've known and felt 

And it makes my sadness melt. 

Then I wake up in the funny old kind of day, 

The rain has gone away 

Watching the children sing and play 

In the garden and the roadway 

Up comes a little one singing a song 

About a friend she knows called Rosie. 

Off to the greenwood you must go, bring-a me one fine posie. 

All of a sudden I'm light as air, I feel sad as a butterfly. 

Oh, I dwell in the north in the green country, 

Far I'm here, far I'm here 

And I dream of the girl with the sunshine eye 

Sundaily, whatever she may be. 

And then I dream along, 

And then I make a song 

About everything that I've known and felt, 

And it makes my sadness melt.
