Cat. #1351 (MFH #418) - As sung by Bill Connell, Fayetteville, Arkansas on July 11, 1969
VERSE 1
Ole Hirams goat was feelin' fine
Ate six red shirts right off th line
He took a stick an' broke his back
And tied 'im to th railroad track
VERSE 2
The evening mail was drawing nigh
Ole Hirams goat, was soon to die
He gave a shriek of ailing pain
Coughed up those shirts and flagged th train
