O'Leary's Cow

歌詞

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 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 (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 aftermath was a sight to see The loss of life and property The people said it was a shame But O'Leary's cow still caught the blame (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
