Bill Grogan's Goat Song | |
| The Tune: Leader sings and then everyone repeats at each (*) | |
| Lyrics: | Bill Grogan's goat,* was feeling fine.* Ate three red shirts,* right off the line.* Bill took a stick,* gave him three whacks,* And tied him to,* the railroad tracks.* The whistle blew,* the train grew nigh;* Bill Grogan's goat,* was doomed to die.* He gave three moans,* of mortal pain,* Barfed up those shirts,* and flagged that train.* The Engineer,* got out to see,* What in the world,* this thing could be.* And when he saw,* It was a goat,* Pulled out his knife,* and cut it's throat.* Now Billy Goat* is really dead,* He went to heaven,* without a head.* And when he got there,* St. Peter said,* 'Dear Billy Goat,* where is your head?'* I do not know,* I can not tell,* For all I know,* It just may be ...* Way down yonder in the paw paw patch.* (can migrate right into the Paw Paw Patch song) |
