A Story, a story I'll tell you just now, It is of the killing poor Colly my Cow. CHORUS. Ah! my poor Colly, poor Colly my Cow Poor Colly is dead, and can give no milk now. There's little Tommy Durken, pray what do you mean, For killing poor Colly when she was so lean. Then in comes the tripe man so trim and so neat, He bid me three halfpence for belly and feet. Then in came the tanner with sword by his side, He gives me three and sixpence for poor Colly's hide. Then in came the horner, who roguery scorns, And gives me three farthings for poor Colly's horns. The skin of my Colly was softer than silk, And three times a day did poor Colly give Milk. There's an end to poor Colly now she's dead and gone, For the loss of my Colly now I'm left forlorn. Ah, my poor Colly, etc.
