Papa's Billie Goat

歌詞

Papa bought him a great big billie goat Mama she washed most every day When the clothes out on the line That darned old goat he come that way He pulled down the red flannel shirt You just ought to have heard them buttons crack But I'll get even with the sonofagun Gonna tie him across the railroad track Tied him across the railroad track And the train was acoming at a powerful rate He upchucked that darned red shirt And then flagged down that darned old train Went to the depot and I bought me a ticket Walked right in said I flat out Stuck my ticket in the brim of my hat And the doggone wind blowed it out on the ground Conductor comes around says gimme the ticket Had to pay again, or be left on the track But I'll get even with the sonofagun Got a roundtrip ticket and I ain't acoming back Acted an old fool and married me a widow And the widow had a daughter by the name of Maud Dad be a widower, married her daughter Now my daddy is my own soninlaw Had a little roll, laid it on the board Tune up the fiddle with sugar in the gourd Sugar in the gourd, you want to get it out Now the way to get the sugar out's roll the gourd about Come to town the other night Heard a little noise, and I see'd a little fight The police a-watching and a-running all around But a load of white lightning come to town Had a little hen, she had a wooden leg The best darned hen that ever laid an egg She laid more eggs than any hen around the barn And another drink awouldn't do me any harm I went down the old sage field Black snake grabbed me by my heel Said I turned around for to do my best And run my head in a hornet's nest Went right out upon the steeple To look right down on the colored people Some were black and some were blacker And some were the color of a chew of tobacco
