Old Dun Cow

[doctorarb]

I used to work at the Arizona Renaissance Festival, and the Crown Prince and the Washerwomen used to sing this song :3 It brings back so many memories of early mornings getting dressed and dancing all day :D I miss my friends though

[kidsworldable]

See, this is why I love the North East.

[dsdragonspawn]

[Nbuck55]

I learned this song in a dingy rowing 'coss a bay to a schooner.

[bluefireturtle]

I fucking love this song!

[mileyworldrocks247]

i wish there weren't comments likes dislikes and ratings they just cause war over youtube i say this out of how many people leave hate comments and we respond back yelling at them hatefully not knowing them at all re post this if you agree started by mileyworldrocks247

[Nguli34689]

@mileyworldrocks247 I agree with you. When someone asks what is on my mind and then invited to post a comment then I do so. I love this song & this is why I favored it, but when a question is asked, the response I provide is from an individual (not a "thought-clone") who is a social critic, lampoon artist, iconoclast, rebel, and a cynic. Nevertheless, I tone down my writing out of respect for another person's creed.

And yes, I think it would be best if the comments were about the song instead.

[mileyworldrocks247]

@Nguli34689 you'd be amazed be how many agree

[Nguli34689]

@mileyworldrocks247 Thanks. On a personal note, I have been influenced by Mark Twain, P.J. O'Rourke, Lenny Bruce, LaVey, Shakespear, Bill Gaines, Rev. Richard P. Yurin, and Frank Zappa (Just to name a few). Humorists all !! My off-beat sense of humor is due to the influence of the individuals above. Yet, I watch what I write because another person' s creed is sacred and sometimes this is all that they have in the world to comfort them. I love the humor in this song and I'll stick to this only.

[mileyworldrocks247]

@Nguli34689 thank you

[Nguli34689]

@mileyworldrocks247 you're welcome.

@Nguli34689

Who's Mark Twain again? sounds familiar.

[Nguli34689]

@musicindisguise "Who's Mark Twain again?"

A ninteenth century American humorist, writer, abolitionist, and social critic by the name of Samuel Clemens used Mark Twain as his moniker and pen name. Tom Sawyer; Huckleberry Finn; The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County; and two others such as Letters From the Earth; and They Mysterious Stranger were penned by Mark Twain. (The last two books are amongst my favorites of his). I also liked Jack London and George Bernard Shaw when I was reading Twain.

@Nguli34689

Oh right :) Thanks.

I have to read one of his novels someday.

[youcantseemeist]

Wow this is definitely, NOT the traditional version.

[JavodeOz]

brobdignagian bards version i likes better.!!!!

[CrackIsWhack420]

I am Brown I drink upside.

[shoto604]

Ceann does a great rendition of this song.

[lelorien]

Who's singing???????

[alilou42]

Love this song!

[Ganjus]

Heard this for the first night in a pub the other night, brilliant!

[breakingbenjaman12]

macntiyre!

[a0e0roberts]

Later that night, when the fire was out

We came up from the cellar below

Our pub was burned, our booze was drunk

Our heads was hanging low

"Oh look", says Brown with a look quite queer

Seems something raised his ire

"Now we gotta get down to Murphy's Pub

It closes on the hour!"

[Nikolaii257]

My girlfriend Katie remembers this tune from her childhood. Ever since I have played this version she began to sing this song every time she showers. Great post and many thanks.

[SpecialFL4]

Danny O'Flaherty's version is better but surprised to find this here.

[entmage]

I like the other versions better. This one sounds too pirat'y

[Phantomsbreath]

I like the piratey touch to it.

[Samanmotlagh]

Yeah, also brobdingnagian bards have done a nice version of it... a more folkmusic like version. great song really

[PirateEire]

I have this CD. The full version, which I'm not sure Drunk and Disorderly has ever done, is rather interesting. Few more verses in there. More of a story. These preists come in and get all upset about their drunken ways.

And the wonderful conclusion: The Old Dun Cow burns down, so they go next door to another pub that's to close in an hour. Best drinking song in the world.

Say "blue blank paralytic drunk" that fast when you really ARE blue blank paralytic drunk.

[AllisonBeriyani]

When I heard seamus Kennedy do it, he sang:

"Blue BLIND paralytic Drunk."

I'm not sure which would be worse though. Blank or blind...

[Nguli34689]

Dead Kennedy, when he was still alive and banging Mary Jane Rottencrotch through her purty pink panties, was paralytic drunk as he swam away from the scene of an accident then lied about it insulting the intelligence of his fellow countrymen in the late 1960's. And then the coward decided to run for the executive office. Fortunately, the American people saw through him like stink on sh*t.  I may have loved Bobby and JFK, but that guy was worthy of my disrespect.

This aside, the song is good.

[AllisonBeriyani]

I was talking about Seamus Kennedy, Beloved folk singer and children's book author, not the recently deceased Senator Ted (Edward) Kennedy.

[Nguli34689]

I know that you were talking about Seamus not Ted. As an iconoclast and a social critic, I wanted to throw in my few bits worth. I really should watch it and not slaughter so many sacred cows on You Tube. It is out of respect that I say this. I like the pirate feel to the Olde Dunn Cow.

Olde Rum brings out the daemon in some, don't you think?

All my best to you and yours.

~~Nikolai

[nairsutsej]

Then there came from the old back door

The Vicar of the local church.

And when he saw our drunken ways,

He began to scream and curse.

"Ah, you drunken sods! You heathen clods!

You've taken to a drunken spree!

You drank up all the Benedictine wine

And you didn't save a drop for me!"

[PirateEire]

This is the rendition by Drunk and Disorderly. Where did you get this?

"Ah, me aunt Maria be buggered, said he, the bleedin' pub's on fire!"

[doombringer117]

awesome, this is a classic XD

[Samanmotlagh]

Yay :D
