A Song

Old lady Leary lit a lantern in the shed
And when the cow kicked over
She winked her eye and said
There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight.
Fire! Fire! Fire!

Data entry tech comment:

Informant name difficult to decipher; could be Jane Cashmier? Collector was from Massillon, Ohio. Possibly learned there.
