[Chorus]
Db
Now there's no denyin' Kitty was remarkably pretty,
Ab7
Tho' I can't say the same for Jane,
Db Bb7 Ebm7 Ab7
But still there's not the differ of the price of a heifer,
Db Ab
Between the pretty and the plain.

[Verse 1]
Db
McBreen had two daughters, and each one in turn
Ebm7 Ab7
Was offered in marriage to Jamesy O'Burn.
Ab Db
Now Kitty was pretty but Jane she was plain,
Ab Db
So to make up the differ, McBreen would explain.
Db
He'd give the best heifer he had on the land,
Ab7 Fm7
As a sort of a bonus with Jane, understand.
Bbm7 Ab7 Db
But then Kitty would charrum a bird off a bush,
Db Ab Db
And that left the lad in a horrid non-plush.
[Verse 2]
Db
Entirely bothered was Jamsey O'Burn,
Ebm7 Ab7
He thought that he'd give the schoolmaster a turn.
Db
Sez he "to wed Kitty is very good fun,
Db
Still a heifer's a heifer when all's said an' done.
Db
A girl she might lose her good looks anyhow,
Ab7
And a heifer might grow to an elegant cow.
Dbm Db Ab Db
But still there's no price for the stock, d'ye mind,
Db Ab Db
And Jane has a face that the Divil designed."

Db Ab Db
[Verse 3]
Db
The schoolmaster said, with a good deal of sinse,
Ebm7 Ab7
"We'll reduce the two girls to shillin's an' pence;
Db Ab Db
Add the price of the heifer, then Jane, I'll be bound,
Ab Db
Will come out on top by a couple o' pound.
Db
But still I'm forgettin' that down in Glengall,
Ab D7
The stock is just goin' for nothin' at all."
