The Legend of Cow Valley
Music and production: Paul Shrofel
Lyrics: Karin Adams
In a town called Ellis
Not too far from here
There’s a legend that lives on
‘Bout the great stampedin’ steer
Every summer the townsfolk
Come from near and far
To see the legend live on
On the Derksen farm.
Chorus
And the cows go Moooooo-oooo!
And the kids go Woooooo-ahhh!
The cows go Moooooo-oooo!
That’s how the legend lives on
When the cows go runnin’
And the whole town’s buzzin’
As it did in days long ago
Each summer in Ellis
The legend lives on!
Now Becky Kowalski
Is a kid with one desire
To play the hero of the legend
Full of spirit, spark and fire
Now Becky has some good friends,
Four guys and another gal
There’s Leonard, Sam, Sarah and Mike
And there’s Greg, her best pal
Chorus
Now it happened one day
There were new folks in town
And they thought it’d be a great thing
To bring the old legend down
Them city folk brought a new show
That they thought was fine and true
Young Becky Kowalski
Said “this’ll never do!”
Chorus
So if you’re ever down in Ellis
And you’ve got some time to spare
Remember Cow Valley
It’s a legend beyond compare
And be sure that you stop by
Old Mr. Derksen’s farm
Where the cows’ll be stampedin’
And the legend lives on!
In my opinion, you can never have enough bookmarks! I’ve made a fun set of bookmarks for you that you can download, print out on your printer, cut out, and use in your favourite books.
For best results, you will probably want to print your bookmarks on a thicker-than-usual paper. Regular paper will work, but the bookmarks won’t be as sturdy as if you use something thicker, like card stock.

Also, bookmarks make great gifts, especially if your gift is a book. Feel free to share these bookmarks with your friends!
