Bill Grogan's Goat Song

The Tune:

Leader sings and then everyone repeats at each (*)

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.*
