Patrick McGinty's Goat - Val Doonican

G
Mr. Patrick McGinty, an Irishman of note,
Dm                                     G7
Came into fortune and bought himself a goat.
     C                                          A7
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.
    C
Now all the ladies that live in Killaloo,
        G
They're all wearin' bustles like their mothers used to do.
     F             C         Dm          C
They each turned a bolster beneath their  petticoats
         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                                     G7
He won a 20 dollar note and shouted, "Hip-hooray."
    C                                        A7
The goat, he came up just to see what he had got
   Dm            C            G             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              D         G7
They pumped and they pumped for the 20-dollar note,
     F                C                 D               G7
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                                 G7
One Morning for breakfast, he ate some dynamite
  C                                   A7
A big box of matches he swallowed all serene
    Dm            C           G        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
   F               C              D               G7
So when you get to heaven you can bet your bottom note
         Dm             G7             C              F
That the angel with the whiskers on is Paddy McGinty’s goat
