Lyrics

Grabbed my gun, I went huntin.Bang went the gun, down went the mutton. Sheep and Cow, walking through the pasture.Sheep said Cow, can't you walk a little faster?Cow said Sheep, I got a hurt toe.Sheep said Cow, I did not know.I don't like meat, I don't like nuttin.I don't give a blank for the old Jimmy Sutton.I like Sal and she likes chicken,I'll see Sal at the old cotton pickin.

Not to be confused with...

Sheeps and Hogs Walking through the Pasture is on a CD by Buddy Thomas [clip at Amazon].
