Now 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

Who was the lad

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 he 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

Now old Paddy's goat

had a wond'rous

appetite

And one day for

breakfast

he had some dynamite

A big box of matches

He swallowed all serene

Then out he went and

swallowed up a

quart of paraffin

He sat by the fireside

He didn't give a hang

He swallowed a spark

and exploded

with a bang

So if you go to heaven

you can bet a dollar note

That the angel with

the whiskers on is

Paddy McGinty's goat
