| Lyrics: | PADDY McGlNTY'S GOAT
Mr. Patrick McGinty, an Irishman of note,
Came into a fortune,
so bought himself a goat.
Said he, "Sure, of goat's milk I mean to have my fill!"
But when
he got his Nanny home, he found it was a Bill.
And now all the ladies who live in
Killaloo
Are all wearing bustles like their mothers used to do.
They each wear a bolster
beneath the petticoat,
And leave the rest to Providence and Paddy McGinty's goat!
Missis
Burke to her daughter said, "Listen, Mary Jane, .
Now who was the man you were cuddling in the
lane?
He'd long wiry whiskers all hanging from his chin."
"Twas only Pat McGinty's goat, "
she answer'd with a grin.
Then she went away from the village in disgrace,
She came
back with powder and paint upon her face.
She'd rings on her fingers, and she wore a sable
coat,
You bet your life they never came from Paddy McGinty's goat.
Little Norah McCarthy
the knot was going to tie,
She washed all her trousseau and hung it out to dry.
Then up
came the goat and he saw the bits of white:
He chewed up all her falderals, and on her wedding
night:
"Oh turn out the gas quick!" she shouted out to Pat,
For though l'm your
bride, sure l'm not worth looking at.
I'd got two of ev'rything, I told you when I
wrote,
But now I've one of nothing, all thro' Paddy McGinty's goat.'
Mickey Riley he went
to the races t'other day.
He won twenty dollars and shouted, "Hip Hooray!!"
He held up the
note, shouting "Look what I've got!"
The goat came up and grabbed at it and swallowed all the
lot.
"He's eaten my banknote," said Mickey, with the hump.
They ran for the doctor,
he brought a stomach pump.
He pumped and he pumped for that twenty dollar note,
But all he
got was ninepence out of Paddy McGinty's goat.
