    The back bone of this old cow
    It was so thick and striaght
    that JOe Kilmurray brought it home to make a walking stick
    My Lady in Diana my Lady in Diau
    My Lady in Diana and Hurragh for Ballyku.
    V1
    The teeth of this old cow, They were so short and sharp
    That Paddy Dunne brought them home to make himself a saw.
    My Lady in Diana my Lady in Diau
    My Lady in Diana and Hurragh for Ballyku.
