So, to recap and in chronological order, the old lady who was presumably suffering from the psychological condition known as, Pica, ingested:
A fly, a spider, a bird, a cat, a dog, a cow and a horse before finally succumbing, most likely due to catastrophic internal damage.
What a delightful children’s song eh?   |

"I get it up to the dog, but what cow eats dogs or was it just meant to chase it round a bit (in her tummy) "
 That’s a good point; surely the old lady would have been better served by swallowing an angry farmer brandishing a shotgun to take care of the the mutt…. |

I was apparently singing this when Off my ties on pethidine giving birth to my eldest years ago lol "
Did it help?

"1953 by Burl Ives on Brunswick Records"
I just looked him up; he was also an actor with a multi decade spanning film career 
Alas…he sadly passed away some years back, taking the story behind this curious song with him  |

There was an old lady who lived in a tent.
Sold her fanny to pay the rent.
Rent was too high, landlord said bye.
