O`leary`s Cow — текст песни (Johnny Horton)

October eighteen seventy one that`s when this great big fire begun
The Windy City was a ball of flame and O`Leary`s cow was the one to blame

The fire men fought for days on end
They could fight the fire but they couldn`t fight the wind
The wind fanned the flames and it started again and nobody knew if it ever would end
(She kicked up her heels with out a hint kicked the lantern over and away she went
The world couldn`t help but be amazed) how one little cow started such a blaze

The rich and the poor were both alike fightin` and prayin` for their life
Then at last the Lord looked down and he sent a little rain to the windy town
October eighteen seventy one...
(She kicked up her heels...

The people said it was a shame but O`Lear`y`s cow still caught the blame
(She kicked up her heels...
