One dark night
When we were all in bed
Mrs. O'Leary
Left the lantern in the shed

The cow kicked it over and
Winked her eyes and said,
"There’ll be a hot time
In the old town, tonight."

One night dark
In bed we all were in
Mrs. O'Leary
Left the shed the lantern in

The kick cowed it over and
Eyed her wink and said,
"There’ll be a time hot
In the town old, tonight."
