O`Leary`s Cow Letra

CHORUS:

October eighteen seventy one

That's when this great big fire be-gun

The windy city was a ball of flame

And O'Leary's cow was the one to blame.



The firemen 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.



BRIDGE:

She kicked up her heels without 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.



CHORUS



BRIDGE



The aftermath was a sight to see

The loss of life and pro-per-ty

The people said it was a shame

But O'Leary's cow still caught the blame.



CHORUS
