Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
"The Tune the Old Cow Died Of" is a dance adaptation of a comic song.<br> The title is a phrase that was used in southwest Pennsylvania to designate any extremely<br> bad piece of music.<br> Interestingly, for a tune possibly derived from a comic song, it is related to the<br> English morris dance tune "The Nutting Girl" which is one of the most well-known morris<br> dance tunes.<br> It was printed in Bayard's Dance to the Fiddle (1981).<br>
