"The Old Cow Crossed the Road", also known as "Cow Cross' the Road", "Old Cow Crossing the
Road/The Old Cow She Crossed the Road" or "Pop Weir Tune" is an American Polka in 4/4 time
and D Major (A part) and G Major (B part). The parts are played ABB.
Bayard (1981) identifies it as a tune reworked for the fiddle and probably taken from a
fairly recent song tune. The tune is quite close to Mt. Airy, N.C., fiddler Bert Edward's
"The Old Cow She Crossed the Road".
It was printed in Bayard's Dance to the Fiddle (1982).
