Olearys Cow

Johnny Horton

 CGC
  Oc-to-ber eigh-teen  sev-en-ty  one

 FC
That's  when this great big  fire be-gun

 FC
The  win-dy cit-y was a  ball of flame

 GFC
And  O'-Lear-y's cow was the  one to  blame.

The fire-men fought for days on end
They could fight the fire but they could-n't fight the wind
The wind fanned the flames and it start-ed a-gain
And no-body knew if it ever would end.

BRIDGE

 F
She  kick-ed up her heels with-out a hint

 C
  kick-ed the lan-tern o-ver and a-way she went

 FC
The  world could-n't help but  be a-maz-ed

 GFC
How  one lit-tle cow start-ed  such a  blaze.

The rich and the poor were both a-like
Fight-in' and pray-in' for their life
Then at last the Lord look-ed down
And He sent a lit-tle rain to the win-dy town.

CHORUS

BRIDGE

The after-math was a sight to see
The loss of life and pro-per-ty
The peo-ple said it was a shame
But O'Lear'-y's cow still caught the blame.

CHORUS
