Lyric discussion by harry s.10 

Cover art for Joanne lyrics by Michael Nesmith

Hmmm...I was under the impression that it was a cow, as a girl would not live "in a meadow by a pond". I could be wrong. If it was a cow, indeed, I am immeasurably touched. I mean, how many people write an ode to these deserving, gentle, docile beings who we literally milk dry and then, sadly, slaughter. :-(

@harry s.10 maybe their friendship turned sour and so he then said it was about a cow ????
