    Paddy Mooney had a cow,
    Her horns were so long and crooked
    Billy Feery brought them home to make a cap for Mary
    My Lady in Diana my Lady in Diau
    My Lady in Diana and Hurragh for Ballyku
    11
    The ribs of this old cow were so sharp and shocking
    That Jack Keegan brought them home
    To shave old Kattie Mohan
    My Lady in Diana, my Lady in Diau
