[00:00:00] Paddy McGinty's Goat - Barnbrack

[00:00:06] Now patrick mcginty an irishman of note

[00:00:09] Fell in for a fortune so he bought himself a goat

[00:00:12] Says he sure of goat's milk i'm goin to have me fill

[00:00:15] But when he brought a nanny home he found it was a bill

[00:00:18] All the young ladies who live in killaloo

[00:00:20] They're all wearing bustles like their mothers used to do

[00:00:23] They each wear a bolster beneath their petticoat

[00:00:26] And leave the rest to providence and paddy mcginty's goat

[00:00:31] Mrs burke to her daughter said listen mary jane

[00:00:35] Who was the lad you were cuddlin in the lane

[00:00:37] He'd long wiry whiskers a hanging from his chin

[00:00:40] 'Twas only pat mcginty's goat she answered with a grin

[00:00:43] Then she went away from the village in disgrace

[00:00:46] She came back with powder and paint upon her face

[00:00:49] She'd rings on her fingers and she wore a sable coat

[00:00:52] You bet your life she didn't get those from paddy mcginty's goat

[00:00:57] Now norah mccarthy the knot was going to tie

[00:01:00] She washed out her trousseau and she hung it out to dry

[00:01:03] Along came the goat and he saw the bits of white

[00:01:06] And chewed up all her falderals upon her wedding night

[00:01:09] Oh turn out the light quick she shouted out to pat

[00:01:12] For though i'm your bride sure i'm not worth looking at

[00:01:15] I had two of everything i told you when i wrote

[00:01:18] But now i've one of nothing all through paddy mcginty's goat

[00:01:22] Mickey riley he went to the races t'other day

[00:01:26] He won twenty dollars and he shouted hip hooray

[00:01:29] He held up the note shouting look at what i've got

[00:01:31] The goat came up and grabbed it and he swallowed up the lot

[00:01:34] He's eaten my banknote mickey with a hump

[00:01:37] They went for the doctor and they got a stomach pump

[00:01:40] They pumped and they pumped for the twenty dollar note

[00:01:43] But all they got was ninepence out of paddy mcginty's goat

[00:01:48] Now old paddy's goat had a wonderous appetite

[00:01:51] And one day for breakfast he had some dynamite

[00:01:54] A big box of matches he swallowed all serene

[00:01:57] Then out he went and swallowed up a quart of paraffin

[00:02:00] He sat by the fireside he didn't give a hang

[00:02:03] He swallowed a spark and exploded with a bang

[00:02:07] So if you go to heaven you can bet a dollar note

[00:02:11] That the angel with the whiskers on is paddy mcginty's goat
