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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:08] A red hot iron

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

[00:02:12] Snip snip snip

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

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

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

[00:02:50] Out on the spot

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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