Version 1
Lyrics
(Folk song)
1. I fed my horse in a poplar trough and there he caught a whooping cough (repeat)
Coy ma lin dow kill ko, kill ko. Coy ma lin dow, kill ko me.
2. I fed my horse in a silver spoon and then he kicked it over the moon. (repeat)
Coy ma lin dow kill ko, kill ko. Coy ma lin dow, kill ko me.
Version 2
Lyrics
(Folk song)
Fed my horse in a poplar trough,
Fed my horse in a poplar trough,
Fed my horse in a poplar trough and there he caught a whooping cough.
Coy ma lindoe kilco, kilco.
Coy ma lindoe kilco may.
(repeat)
