The Old Dun Cow was written (words and music) by Harry Wincott (1867-1947), born in Lambeth, London, lived the later part of his life in Yeovil. The original Old Dun Cow was in Walworth, an area of London.
yep as a teenager I feel very satisfied and amazed listening to the songs that lay under long forgotten type of world full of most bright , cheerful songs and legend singers ...
I love this recording of the song!! My mother and I get so bloody drunk listening to this and our Scottish and Irish folk. My mom wants to take a trip over there. My mom is waiting for the opportunity to see this handsome gentleman live!!😄
This isn't (as stated) an Irish song. It was written by a Londoner, a music hall performer, called Harry Wincott who also wrote "Boiled Beef 'n' Carrots", "Any Old Iron?" and the WW1 classic "Mademoiselle from Armentieres".

I've met John several times. He told me that he doesn't do THE OLD DUNN COW because people were destroying the pub's property.
Scottish and Irish? The song was written by Harry Wincott (1867-1947) in 1893 for English music Hall.
Get some Cornish in the mix 👍
Till we were all half pissed. Love this version and singer.
Beautifully done John. I’ve always loved this song, I think your performance of it is the best I’ve seen.
A great version of this song. Very entertaining.
John is the best, any chance you get to see him in Vegas - TAKE IT!
So much fun to be in the bar when John performs this one!

He never stated it was an Irish song. He said it was a song about Irishmen, which he has every right to say as a singer with artistic liberty.
I like his voice
Beautyful
Quality
Benjamin Franklin once sniffed that he
"had no use for a man with but one spelling for a word."
