GUEST,Kristen Lyr Req: Paddy McGinty's Goat (26) RE: Lyr Req: Paddy McGinty's Goat 26 Jan 06


As a child, i went to NSW Dept of Sport and Rec camps at Lake Keepit, near Gunedah. We learnt a version of Paddy McGinty's Goat - It had nothing in it about the goat being a Bill or the ladies from town or the race track incident but is obviously based on the traditional song.
Paddy McGinty, an Irishman of note,
Fell into a fortune and bought himself a goat,
Now this very goat it had an appetite,
And eary on morning it ate some dynamite,
6 box of matches, a pint of kerosene ....

is all i can remeber. It only had 2 or 3 verses.
Can anyone help with the rest?
