  1. The Old Cow From Glenaskough

    Share Share Post
    O'twas up in Glenaskough an old farmer he lived there.
    He had an aged cow which he brought to many a fair.
    She had so many bad faults he could give no guarantee.
    And he brought her home again sure a sorry man was he.
    She could stick, she could kick, she was narrow too behind.
    She had no teeth and of milk she had no sign.
    You could tell by her appearance the man could not her sell.
    And she had some other bad faults he was ashamed to tell.
