When I learned it 20 some years ago there was an opposite echo like this:
Bill Grogan's goat
(not a chicken but a goat)
was feeling fine
(not bad but fine)
til he ate 3 shirts
(not socks but shirts)
right off the line
(not a rope but a line)
Bill took a stick
(not a board but a stick)
and gave him a whack
(not a smack but a whack)
and tied him to
(not three but to)
the railroad track
(not a rack but a track)
The whistle blew
(not red but blew)
The train grew nigh
(not far but nigh)
Bill Grogan's goat
(not a chicken but a goat)
was doomed to die
(not live but die)
He made a groan
(not a moan but a groan)
of awful pain
(not joy but pain)
Coughed up those shirts
(not socks but shirts)
and flagged the train
(not a plane but a train)!
