GUEST,RWM	Lyr Add: The Cow that Ate the Piper (30)	That carnivorous bovine	02 Mar 09
Greetings folks, I was hoping to tap the collective wisdom regarding the song "The Cow That Ate The Piper". I know it is about the times of the 1798 Rebellion, but does anyone know if it was actually written around that time ( or more likely shortly after.. say 1805-15?). The language seems pretty archaic, but it might just be the translation I have. I am looking to see if this is a reasonably contemporary piece or is it one of those that SOUNDS old, but in reality: "Ahh now ______ __________ wrote that one back in 1957 when he was coming home late one night..." Thanks in advance, now back to shovelling snow. Robert Mouland www.wireharp.com
