[00:00:00] McBeen's Heifer - John Roche

[00:00:01] Written by： Percy French

[00:00:05] McBreen had two daughters and each one in turn

[00:00:08] Was offered in marriage to Jamesy O'Burn

[00:00:11] Now Kitty was pretty but Jane she was plain

[00:00:14] So to make up the differ McBreen would explain

[00:00:17] He'd give the best heifer he had on the land

[00:00:20] As a sort of a bonus with Jane understand

[00:00:23] But then Kitty would charrum a bird off a bush

[00:00:26] And that left the lad in a horrid non-plush

[00:00:30] Now there's no denyin' Kitty was remarkably pretty

[00:00:34] Tho' I can't say the same for Jane

[00:00:37] But still there's not the differ of the price of a heifer

[00:00:40] Between the pretty and the plain

[00:00:46] Entirely bothered was Jamsey O'Burn

[00:00:48] He thought that he'd give the schoolmaster a turn

[00:00:51] Sez he to wed Kitty is very good fun

[00:00:53] Still a heifer's a heifer when all's said an' done

[00:00:57] A girl she might lose her good looks anyhow

[00:00:59] And a heifer might grow to an elegant cow

[00:01:02] But still there's no price for the stock d'ye mind

[00:01:05] And Jane has a face that the Divil designed

[00:01:09] Still there's no denyin' Kitty was remarkably pretty

[00:01:13] Tho' I can't say the same for Jane

[00:01:16] But still there's not the differ of the price of a heifer

[00:01:19] Between the pretty and the plain

[00:01:25] The schoolmaster said with a good deal of sinse

[00:01:28] We'll reduce the two girls to shillin's an' pence

[00:01:30] Add the price of the heifer then Jane I'll be bound

[00:01:33] Will come out on top by a couple o' pound

[00:01:36] But still I'm forgettin' that down in Glengall

[00:01:40] The stock is just goin' for nothin' at all

[00:01:43] So Jim thought he'd wait till the end of the year

[00:01:46] Till girls might be cheaper or stock might be dear

[00:01:52] But when he came for Kitty

[00:01:55] She was married to McGinty

[00:01:56] And McGee had appropriated Jane

[00:01:59] So whether there's the differ

[00:02:00] Of the price of a heifer

[00:02:03] Was a thing that he never could explain
