            Papa's Billy Goat Lyrics

[Verse]
F
Papa, bought em a great big billy goat.
F
Mom, she washed most every day.
F
She hung her clothes out on the line,
F                                         F Am
that dog-gone goat he a comin' that way

[Verse]
F
Now he pulled down a red flannel shirt.
F
You oughta heerd those buttons crack.
Bb  F
But Pa'll get even with the son of a gun,
F             Am                    F      Am
Gonna tie him across the railroad track.

[Verse]
F
Well he tied him across the railroad track,
F
And the train was a comin' at a powerful rate.
F
he coughed up that old red shirt,
F                          Am         F
And then flagged down that durned old train.

[Verse]
F
So I went to the depot and I bought me a ticket,
F
And I walked right in and I sot right down.
Bb                     F
Stuck my ticket in the brim of my hat
F                C                       F         Am F
And the dog-gone wind blew it out on the ground.

[Verse]
F
The conductor come along and said "Gimme your ticket"
F
Well I had to pay again or get left on the track.
F
But I'll get even with the son of a gun,
F
Gonna tie him across the railroad track.

[Verse]
F
Well I tied him across the railroad track,
F
And the train was a comin' at a powerful rate.
Bb
He fell back like an old red stain,
F
And they buttied him under that durned old train.

[Verse]
F
And I Actin' me an old fool, I married me a widow.
F
And the widow had a daughter and her name was Maude.
F
Pop, bein' a widower, married her daughter,
F            C    F
And now my daddy is my own son-in-law.

[Instrumental]
F Bb F C F Bb F

[Verse]
F
Had a little roll, laid it on the board
Bb
Tune up the fiddle with sugar in the gourd
F
Sugar in the gourd, you want to get it out
F                                                         F C F C
Now the way to get the sugar out's roll the gourd about

[Verse]
F
Had a little hen, she had a wooden leg
Bb
The best darned hen that ever laid an egg
F
She laid more eggs than any hen around the barn
F
And another drink a wouldn't do me any harm

[Outro]
C Am F C
