“Paddy Mooney had a cow.”
Local song
Written by Kitty Maher, Tore, Tyrrellspass
Obtained from Mrs J Maher, Tore Tyrrellspass (age 36)

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(continues on next page)- Collector
