Now Patrick McGinty
An lrishman of note
Fell in for a fortune and
He bought himself a goat
Said he Sure of goat milk
I going to have my lfi I
But when he got his nanny home
He found it was a Bill
All the young ladies
Who live in Kililew
They're all wearing bustles
Like their mothers used to do
They each wear a bolster
Beneath their petticoat
And leave the rest to providence
And Paddy McGinty's Goat
Mrs Berk to her daughter
Said listen Mary Jane
Who was the lad
You were cuddling in the lane
He'd long wiry whiskers
A hanging from his chin
'twas only Pat McGinty's goat
She answered 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
She didn't get those
From Paddy McGinty's Goat
Now Nora McCarthy
The knot was going to tie
She washed out her trustle
And she hung it out to dry
Along came the Goat and
He saw the bit so white
He chewed 'em up to fodder
As upon her wedding night
Oh turn off the light quick
She shouted out to Pat
Although I'm your bride sure
I'm not worth looking at
I had two of everything
I told you when I wrote
But now I'm wearing nothing
'cause of Paddy McGinty's Goat
Mickey Reilly he went to the
Races the other day
He won twenty dollars
And he shouted 'hip hooray'
He held up the note shouting
'look at what I've got'
The goat came up and grabbed it
And he swallowed all the lot
He's eaten me bank notes
Says Mickey with a jump
They went for the doctor
And they got a stomach pump
They pumped and they pumped
For that twenty dollar note
But all they got was ninepence
Out of Paddy McGinty's goat
Now old Paddy's goat
Had a wondrous appetite
And one day for breakfast
He had some dynamite
A big box of matches
He swallowed so serene
Then out he went and swallowed
Up a quart of parrafin
He sat by the fireside
He didn't give a hand
He swallowed a spark
And exploded with a bang
So if you go to heaven
You can bet the dollar note
That the angel
With the whiskers on
Is Paddy McGinty's goat
