Verse of an Old Song
“Verse of an old Song”
There was once and old man and he
had an old cow, And he had no fo
And he had no fodder to give her.
He took down his old fiddle one day
and he played and old tune.
And he said, "Old cow old cow
I consider,
That I have no fodder to give you
And I am lonely and miserable by myselfAnother Verse of an old Song
How proudly we boast of the heroes of
Ardagh,
Who swore to defend us or die by our side.
The war cries still ringing, the bright days are dawning.
There is hope from high Heaven for the
the turn of the tide.Both verses collected by Laurence Lavin from his father Patrick Lavin.
