GUEST,Castoro Lyr/Origins: O'Grady's Goat, Bill Grogan's, etc. (34) RE: Lyr/Origins: O'Grady's Goat, Bill Grogan's, etc. 11 Feb 18


My Grandmother (born 1910) in North Carolina used to sing this short version, similar to Rosenthal's Goat. Can't reconcile Isaac and Sal...


There was a man named Isaac Small
Who bought a goat right from the stall
That goat had teeth so sharp and fine
Ate six red shirts right off the line

Sal took a stick and broke Bill's back
And tied him to the railroad track
Bill gave a moan as if in pain
Coughed up six shirts and flagged the train
