Talkin' Veterinarian Blues - Corb Lund[00:00:00]

Well my Daddy's a vet and if I was one too [00:00:22]

The one thing he always taught me to do was get paid cash money [00:00:24]

Jam and eggs is a kind enough thank you [00:00:30]

But not for the bookkeeper not for the banker[00:00:32]

The margin's thin on treatin' large animals unless it's a[00:00:35]

Purebred or more understandable a racehorse of some kind[00:00:38]

You see son city folks pay a high dollar to make sure Fido[00:00:43]

Ain't hot under the collar that's where the money is[00:00:46]

Boutique animal hospitals shopping malls cocker spaniels[00:00:50]

Pomeranians; hang your shingle[00:00:56]

There was a blind old woman brings in a bird with a busted[00:01:07]

Wing and somewhere she heard we were good doctors[00:01:10]

That night it died in the cage under our care of[00:01:15]

Unknown cause but we'll make it square these things happen[00:01:18]

Only one cure though quick trip to the pet store[00:01:22]

Well mornin' come didn't want to upset her; for her own[00:01:28]

Good I didn't see a need to tell her[00:01:31]

"Not only you boys fixed his wing but it appears as though[00:01:33]

You taught him to sing you are good doctors [00:01:36]

He ain't never sung before I've had him for years "[00:01:40]

When you've been in the business as long as I have you[00:01:52]

Begin to consider the plight of the calves[00:01:54]

Fun lovin' frolickin' carefree little critters[00:01:57]

The first few months ain't all that bad they'll never forget[00:02:00]

The good times they had[00:02:04]

But then comes fall and brandin' times stuck in the ribs with[00:02:05]

A red hot iron[00:02:08]

Tag in the ear shots in the hip the dehornin' paste and [00:02:09]

Snip snip snip[00:02:12]

Welcome to the world little buddy it's no picnic[00:02:14]

I've treated my share of sugar beet chokes if it gets too bad[00:02:43]

You gotta cut the throat and salvage the carcass dress him[00:02:46]

Out on the spot[00:02:50]

This one old steer he choked real bad in the corner of the[00:02:52]

Pen he's mighty mad[00:02:55]

I poked at the beet it wouldn't dislodge the farmer says "I[00:02:56]

Got a dull knife back at the garage"[00:02:59]

I said "Go get it " Gotta save the meat[00:03:01]

I made the jugular cut the steer jumped to his feet shook[00:03:04]

His head and coughed up the beet[00:03:07]

Stood there and bled to death in front of his owner[00:03:09]

"Thank you Doc what do I owe ya "[00:03:13]

Well that's how it goes with the sugar beet chokes[00:03:22]

Just don't get me started on alfalfa bloats[00:03:24]
