THE BILLY GOAT WAS FEELING FINE (THE BILLY GOAT) Sung by: Robbie Martin Recorded in Banner, AR Click here to listen to the original recording He ate six red shirts from off Sal's line. Sal took a stick and broke his back, And tied him to the railroad track. A fast express was drawing nigh. That goat was doomed, but not to die: He gave three shrieks in rage and pain, Coughed up those shirts and flagged the train. Also found in Brown, Vol. III, #514, "The Billy Goat." |
