: My daughter has been singing the following version
: of the song for 23 years, after learning it in grade
: school:
: There was a man now please take note
: There was a man who had a goat
: He loved that goat, indeed he did
: He loved that goat just like a kid
: One day that goat, felt frisk & fine
: Ate three red shirts from off the line
: The man, he grabbed him by the back
: And tied him to the railroad track
: And when the train drove into sight
: That goat grew pale and green with fright
: He heaved a sigh as if in pain
: Coughed up the shirts & flagged the train
: And flagged the train!
It has been 25 years but I still remember some of it.
Bill Grogan's goat, was feelin' fine
ate three red shirts from off the line
Bill took a switch, gave him a swack
coughed up the shrits....
and I can't remember the rest.
