Paddy Mcginty's Goat (Re-Recorded Version) - Platinum Collection Band[00:00:00]
Now patrick mcginty an irishman of note[00:00:08]
Fell into a fortune and he bought himself a goat[00:00:12]
Says he sure of goat's milk[00:00:16]
I'm goin to have me fill[00:00:18]
But when he brought a nanny home[00:00:20]
He found it was a bill[00:00:22]
And now All the ladies who live in killaloo[00:00:24]
They're all wearing bustles[00:00:27]
Like their mothers used to do[00:00:29]
They each wear a bolster beneath their petticoat[00:00:31]
And leave the rest to providence[00:00:35]
And paddy mcginty's goat[00:00:37]
Mrs burke to her daughter said listen mary jane[00:00:46]
Who was the lad you were cuddlin in the lane[00:00:50]
He'd long wiry whiskers a hangin from his chin[00:00:54]
Twas only pat mcginty's goat[00:00:57]
She answered with a grin[00:00:59]
Then she went away from the village in disgrace[00:01:01]
She came back with powder and paint upon her face[00:01:05]
She'd rings on her fingers and she wore a sable coat[00:01:09]
You bet your life and she never came[00:01:13]
From paddy mcginty's goat[00:01:15]
Now norah mccarthy the knot was goin to tie[00:01:24]
She washed out her trousseau[00:01:28]
And she hung it out to dry[00:01:30]
Along came the goat[00:01:32]
And he saw the bits of white[00:01:33]
And chewed up all her falderals[00:01:35]
Her wedding night[00:01:38]
Oh turn out the light quick she shouted out to pat[00:01:39]
For though I'm your bride[00:01:43]
Sure I'm not worth looking at[00:01:44]
I had two of everything I told you when I wrote[00:01:46]
But now I've one of nothing[00:01:50]
All Through paddy mcginty's goat[00:01:52]
Mickey riley he went to the races t'other day[00:02:09]
He won twenty dollars[00:02:13]
And he shouted hip hooray[00:02:15]
He held up the note shoutin look at what I've got[00:02:17]
The goat came up and grabbed it[00:02:20]
And he swallowed up the lot[00:02:22]
He's eaten my banknote says mickey with a hump[00:02:25]
They went for the doctor[00:02:28]
He got a stomach pump[00:02:30]
They pumped and they pumped[00:02:32]
For the twenty dollar note[00:02:33]
But all they got was[00:02:36]
Ninepence Out of paddy mcginty's goat[00:02:37]
Now old paddy's goat had a wonderous appetite[00:02:47]
And one day for breakfast he had some dynamite[00:02:51]
A big box of matches he swallowed all serene[00:02:55]
Then out he went[00:02:58]
And swallowed up a quart of paraffin[00:02:59]
He sat by the fireside he didn't care a hang[00:03:02]
He swallowed a spark and exploded with a bang[00:03:06]
And you go to heaven you can bet a dollar note[00:03:12]
That the angel who has the whiskers[00:03:16]
On is paddy mcginty's goat[00:03:18]
