Subject: The Spotted Cow
The Spotted Cow I have a folksong in mind but can only remember the first few lines. I think Steeleye Span did a recording but cannot get hold of one. Does anyone else know the rest of the words;

One morning in the month of may as from my cot I strayed just at the dawning of the day I met with a pretty maid

Good morning to you, morrow, said I Good morning to you now The maid replied, Kind Sir, she cried I've lost my spotted cow

....and then it goes along the usual lines of folk songs of this period.
