   "Charley Harper's Old Cow" by Francis Kelly, Meenlougher known locally as "Francey, the fiddler" The original version was composed by Jack Catherson, Pollyarnon Castlederg, Co Tyrone.
   I
   Come all you good people and listen to me,
   I'll sing you a song of a comical spree
   Concerning an old cow, as I hear them say.
   By drinking strong whiskey her head went astray.
   II
   She was known to the neighbours that lived round about
   And the name she went under was a “drunken old tout”
   That spent all her money in brandy and beer
   And fought with all cows that came far and near.
   III
   From the first of September to the first of October
   There wasn’t a market this cow came home sober
   She was aye drunk on Friday, and Saturday sick
   And only gave milk about twice a week
   Till she joined the good Temperance for a month or two
   And lived with her neighbours as a cow ought to do.
   IV
   She went down to Strabane without any control
   And to her misfortune, she got the Black Hole
   As she went down the road to herself, she did say
   Oh! boys! we'll keep steady, we’ll booze none today.
