Lyrics
Johnny Horton
O'Leary's Cow

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
Writer(s): Brian Douglas Wilson
