[ This is very old and was donated by a member of the goatsuk list in England] Now Patrick McGinty an Irish man of note Fell in for a fortune and bought himself a goat Says he sure of goats milk I'm going to have me fill But when he brought the nanny home he found it was a bill All the young ladies who live in Killaloe They all wear tresses like their mothers used to do They each wear a falderall beneath their petty-coat And leave the rest to providence,and Paddy McGintys goat,
Mrs Burke to her daughter says listen Mary Jane Who was that fella you were cuddling down the lane He had long hairy whiskers hanging from his chin Twas only Paddy McGintys goat, she anwsered with a grin Then she went away from the village in disgrace She came back with powder and paint all on her face Rings on her fingers and she wore a sable coat And you can bet your life she didn't get that from Paddy McGintys goat,
Nora McCarthy, the knot was going to tie She washed out her trousseau and hung it up to dry Along came the goat and he saw her bit of white And chewed up all her falderall on her wedding night Turn out the light quick she shouted out to Pat For though I am your bride I am not worth looking at They now have two of everything, I told you when I wrote But now they've one another and Paddy NcGintys goat,

Micky Reilly to the races he went the other day He won twenty dollars and he shouted hip horray He held down the note, shouting look at what I,ve got Then along came the goat and he swallowed up the lot He's eaten me banknote says Micky with a hump They sent for a doctor to get his stomach pumped The pumped and they pumped, for the twenty dollar note But all they got was sixpence out of paddy McGintys goat
Now old Paddys goat had a wonderous appetite And one day for his breakfast he had some dynamite A big box of matches he swallowed up serene Then out he went and swallowed down a quart of parrifin He sat by the fire side he did,nt give a damm He swallowed up a spark and exploded with a bang And if you ever get to heaven you can bet your bottom note That the angel with whiskers on is Paddy McGintys goat!!
