The Billy Goat

VERSE 1
There was a man, who had a goat
He loved that goat, just like a kid
One day that goat, got frisk an' fine
Ate three red shirts right off th line

VERSE 2
The man he grabbed him by th back
An' tied him to th railroad track
An' when th train, came into sight
Th goat grew pale, and green with fright

VERSE 3
He heaved a sigh, as if in pain
Coughed up those shirts, an' flagged th train
