To me, this is about a man who is hopelessly in love with a hooker who, although not happy, can't stop her trade or the drugs.
"Was a book of numbers/And your remedies/One of these
Surely will screen out the sorrow
But where are you tomorrow"
This section seals it for me:
"Down to Greene Street
There you go
Lookin' so outrageous
And they tell you so
You should know
How all the pros play the game
You change your name "
He must "make everything right " when she comes home.
I think the "Black cow' is just a sideline to the story.
