Old Hiram's Goat



Old Hiram's goat
Was a feeling fine
Ate three red shirts
Right off of the line

Mrs. Murphy the cook
She beat him black
And tied him to
The railroad track

Singin' 'au revoir"
But not 'Good-bye'
'Cause that old goat
Wasn't doomed to die

He coughed and coughed
In mortal pain
Coughed up those shirts
and flagged the train

(Beavers repeat lines after leader)
