lyrics

The old cow died, sail around

The old cow died, sail around ladies


Did you get her any water? Yes maam

Did you get her any soda? Yes maam

Did you call for the doctor? Yes maam

Did the doctor come? Yes maam


The old cow died, sail around

The old cow died, sail around ladies


Were the seagulls flying high? Yes maam

Were the seagulls swooping low? Yes maam

Did you call the methodists round? Yes maam

Did you make them tea and cakes?


The old cow died, sail around

The old cow died, sail around ladies
