Patrick McGinty's Goat - Val Doonican
[Verse]
   C
Mr. Patrick McGinty, an Irishman of note,
Dm                                     
Came into fortune and bought himself a goat.
     C                                          
Said he "sure o' goat's milk, I mean to have my fill"
    Dm                             C
But when he got his nanny home, he  found it was a bill.
Now all the ladies that live in Killaloo,
        G
They're all wearin' bustles like their mothers used to do.
 They [F*]each wear a [C*] bolster be[Dm*] neath their  petti [C*]coats
         Dm                G7             C               
And they leave the rest to providence and Paddy McGinty's goat.
 
[Verse]
       C
Mickey went to the races just t'other day,
   Dm                                     
He won a 20 dollar note and shouted, "Hip-hooray."
    C                                        
The goat, he came up just to see what he had got
   Dm                         C             
He opened up his mouth and he ate the whole lot.
 C
"Call for the doctor," said Mickey with a jump.
G
They ran for the doctor and he brought a stomach pump.
     F               C              Dm       C
They [pumped and they pumped for the 20-dollar note,
    F                    G7           C              
But all they got was the other end of Paddy McGinty's goat.
 
Verse
     C
Well Paddy’s old goat had a wondrous appetite
    Dm                                 
One Morning for breakfast, he ate some dynamite
  C                                   
A big box of matches he swallowed all serene
    Dm                        C        
And washed it all down with a quart of kerosene
   C
He sat by the fire ‘cause he didn't give a hang
   G
He swallowed a spark and exploded with a bang
[SLOWER]So [F*] when you get to [C*]heaven you can [Dm*] bet your bottom [C*] note
                  F          G7                 C              
[FASTER] That the angel with the whiskers on is Paddy McGinty’s goat
