The Old Dun Cow

The Old Dun Cow

<And there was Brown, upside down

Lapping at the whiskey on the floor

Booze, Booze the firemen cried as they came a knocking on the door

But don't let em in till it's all mopped up

Somebody souted MacIntyre

And we all got blue blind paralytic drunk, when the old Dun Cow caught fire>

For me and my friends were playin cards

in a pblic house one night

when into the room the barman came, his face a chalky white

"What's up", said Brown, "Have you seen a ghost? Have you seen your aunt Mariah?"

"My aunt Mariah be buggered", said he

"The bleedin' pub's on fire"

"Oh a fire", said Brown, "what a stroke of luck

C'mon you lads and follow me. We'll go to the cellar, if the fire ain't there we'll have ourselves a spree"

So we all went down with good old Brown, and the booze we could not miss

and we hadn't been there 5 minutes or so till we was truely pissed

Oh Jones did rush to the port wine tub and gave it just a few hard knocks

Started takin' off his pantaloons, Likewise his shoes and socks

"Hey, what's up?, " said Brown, "If you want to wash your feet

There's a tub of booze down here

Don't wash your trousers in the port wine tub

When we theres lots of Carling lager beer."

And then there was a bloody great crash; half the fucking roof caved in
