There was an old woman had three cows,
Rosy, and Colin, and Dun;
Rosy and Colin were sold at the fair,
And Dun broke his head in a fit of despair
And there was an end of her three cows,
Rosy, and Colin, and Dun.

    I had a book of poems with this verse in it when my kids were young. Gave book away but would now like to have a copy for my Grandchildren.
    My oldest daughter memorized this verse very young.
