Just updating the thread on BBC 'Music Time' booklets, I noticed they have also used it, as two part (call and response). Words are similar to those given above, but included for comparison/completeness. ABC is included to show both parts, even though the second part exactly replicates the first, with a one bar offset. BILL GROGGIN’S GOAT American song 1, There was a man, now please take note. There was a man, who had a goat. He loved that goat, indeed he did. He loved that goat just like a kid. 2, One day that goat felt frisk and fine, Ate three red shirts right off the line. The man he grabbed her by the back And tied her to a railway track. 3, Now when the train came into sight The goat grew pale and grey with fright. He struggled hard, and then again, Coughed up the shirts, and flagged the train.
