DEAR BLACK COW [2] (An Druim-Fionn Dub Dileas). AKA and see "Colly My Cow," "Peasant's Grief (The)." Irish, "Very Slow" Air (3/8 time). E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. A close variation of Bunting's version of "Dear Black Cow (1)", which is evidently a song of lament for the death of an beloved animal.
