Paddy McGinty's Goat - Barnbrack[00:00:00]
Now patrick mcginty an irishman of note[00:00:06]
Fell in for a fortune so he bought himself a goat[00:00:09]
Says he sure of goat's milk i'm goin to have me fill[00:00:12]
But when he brought a nanny home he found it was a bill[00:00:15]
All the young ladies who live in killaloo[00:00:18]
They're all wearing bustles like their mothers used to do[00:00:20]
They each wear a bolster beneath their petticoat[00:00:23]
And leave the rest to providence and paddy mcginty's goat[00:00:26]
Mrs burke to her daughter said listen mary jane[00:00:31]
Who was the lad you were cuddlin in the lane[00:00:35]
He'd long wiry whiskers a hanging from his chin[00:00:37]
'Twas only pat mcginty's goat she answered with a grin[00:00:40]
Then she went away from the village in disgrace[00:00:43]
She came back with powder and paint upon her face[00:00:46]
She'd rings on her fingers and she wore a sable coat[00:00:49]
You bet your life she didn't get those from paddy mcginty's goat[00:00:52]
Now norah mccarthy the knot was going to tie[00:00:57]
She washed out her trousseau and she hung it out to dry[00:01:00]
Along came the goat and he saw the bits of white[00:01:03]
And chewed up all her falderals upon her wedding night[00:01:06]
Oh turn out the light quick she shouted out to pat[00:01:09]
For though i'm your bride sure i'm not worth looking at[00:01:12]
I had two of everything i told you when i wrote[00:01:15]
But now i've one of nothing all through paddy mcginty's goat[00:01:18]
Mickey riley he went to the races t'other day[00:01:22]
He won twenty dollars and he shouted hip hooray[00:01:26]
He held up the note shouting look at what i've got[00:01:29]
The goat came up and grabbed it and he swallowed up the lot[00:01:31]
He's eaten my banknote mickey with a hump[00:01:34]
They went for the doctor and they got a stomach pump[00:01:37]
They pumped and they pumped for the twenty dollar note[00:01:40]
But all they got was ninepence out of paddy mcginty's goat[00:01:43]
Now old paddy's goat had a wonderous appetite[00:01:48]
And one day for breakfast he had some dynamite[00:01:51]
A big box of matches he swallowed all serene[00:01:54]
Then out he went and swallowed up a quart of paraffin[00:01:57]
He sat by the fireside he didn't give a hang[00:02:00]
He swallowed a spark and exploded with a bang[00:02:03]
So if you go to heaven you can bet a dollar note[00:02:07]
That the angel with the whiskers on is paddy mcginty's goat[00:02:11]
