was feeling fine
Ate three red shirts
right off the line
Bill took a stick
gave him three whacks
And tied him to
the railroad tracks
The whistle blew
the train grew night
Bill Grogan's goat
was doomed to die
He gave three moans
of mortal pain
Barfed up those shirts
and flagged that train
The Engineer
got out to see
What in the world
this thing could be
And when he saw
It was a goat
Pulled out his knife
and cut it's throat
Now Billy Goat
is really dead
He went to heaven
without a head
And when he got there
St. Peter said
'Dear Billy Goat
where is your head?'
I do not know
I can not tell
For all I know
It just may be
Way down yonder in the paw paw patch
Bill Grogan's goat was feeling fine Ate three red shirts right off the line Bill took a stick gave him three whacks And tied him to the railroad tracks The whistle blew the train grew night Bill Grogan's goat was doomed to die He gave three moans of mortal pain Barfed up those shirts and flagged that train The Engineer got out to see What in the world this thing could be And when he saw It was a goat Pulled out his knife and cut it's throat Now Billy Goat is really dead He went to heaven without a head And when he got there St. Peter said 'Dear Billy Goat where is your head?' I do not know I can not tell For all I know It just may be Way down yonder in the paw paw patch Explain Request ×
