PAPA'S BILLY GOAT
Here's another goat flagging song - it was sun to the tune of Rueben and Rachel!

Papa bought a great big billy goat
Ma she washed most every day -
Hung her clothes up on the line
That darned old goat he came that way.

He pulled down the old flannel shirt
You ought to of herd those buttons crack -
I'll get even with the son of a gun
I'm gonna time him across the railroad track.

Tied him across the railroad track
The train was coming at a powerful rate -
He belched up that old red shirt
And he flagged down that darned old freight.

Went to the depot and bought me a ticket
Walked right in and I sat right down -
Stuck my ticket in the brim of my hat
And the doggoned wind blowed it out on the ground.

Conductor came round and "give me your ticket"
I had to pay again or get left on the track -
I'll get even with the son of a gun,
Bought a round trip ticket and I ain't comin' back.
