Paddy McGintys Goat
Val Doonican

Now Patrick McGinty, an Irishman of note
Fell in for a fortune and he bought himself a goat
Says he, sure of goat's milk I'm goin' to have me fill
But when he brought a Nanny home, he found it was a Bill

All the young ladies who live in Killaloo

He won twenty dollars and he shouted hip hooray
He held up the note, shoutin' look at what I've got
The goat came up and grabbed it and he swallowed up the lot

He's eaten my banknote, says Mickey with a hump
They went for the doctor and they got a stomach pump
They pumped and they pumped for the twenty dollar note
