Bill Grogan’s Goat

Bill Grogan’s goat
Was feeling fine,
Ate six red shirts
Right off the line.

Bill took a stick,
Gave him a whack,
And tied him to
The railroad track.

The whistle blew,
The train drew nigh,
Bill Grogan’s goat
Was doomed to die.

He gave three groans
Of awful pain,
Coughed up the shirts
And flagged the train.
