O' Leary's Cow |
| October eighteen seventy one that’s when this great big fire begun |
| The Windy City was a ball of flame and O’Leary’s cow was the one to blame |
| The fire men fought for days on end |
| They could fight the fire but they couldn’t fight the wind |
| The wind fanned the flames and it started again and nobody knew if it ever |
| would end |
| (She kicked up her heels with out a hint kicked the lantern over and away she |
| went |
| The world couldn’t help but be amazed) how one little cow started such a blaze |
| The rich and the poor were both alike fightin' and prayin' for their life |
| Then at last the Lord looked down and he sent a little rain to the windy town |
| October eighteen seventy one… |
| (She kicked up her heels… |
| The after math was a sight to see the loss of life and property |
| The people said it was a shame but O’Lear’y’s cow still caught the blame |
| (She kicked up her heels… |
