_ _ [C] _ _ Patrick McGinty, an Irishman of note, [A] Fell in for a fortune [G] and he bought himself
a goat, [C] Said he's sure a goat's milk I'm [C#m] gonna have
me [D] fill, But when [G] he got the [C] nanny home [D] he found it
was [C] a bill.
All ye ladies who live in Killaloo [G] Are all wearing bustles like their mothers
used to do, [F] They each [C] wear a [G] bolster beneath [C] the petty
[D] coat, And leave [G] the rest of Providence [F] at Pat [C] McGinty's goat.

[G] _ [D] _ _ _ _ [C] Mrs Burke to her daughter said, Listen Mary [D] Jane,
Who is the lad [G] you were coddling in the lane?
[C] He'd long, wiry [G] whiskers, the hanging [C#m] from his chin,
[D] It was only [G] Pat McGinty's goat, she answered [C] with a grin.
She went away from the village in disgrace, [G] She came back with powder and paint upon her face.
[Dm] She'd [C] rings on her [G] fingers and she wore a [C] sable [G] coat,
You can bet your life she didn't get those from Penny [Fm] [G] McGinty's [F#] goat. _
[G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [D] _ [C] Now Nora McCarthy the knot was going to tie, [D]
She washed out a trousseau and [G] she hung it
out to dry.
[C] Along came the [Em] goat and saw the bits of white, [D] And [G] chewed up all the folderalls upon [C] her wet knight.
Oh, turn out the light quick, she shouted out to Pat,
[G] For though I'm your bride you're a love worth looking at,
[Fm] I had [C] to of [G] everything I told you [C] when I wrote,
[G] But now I've won of nothing at all from Penny [C] McGinty's goat.
_ [A] _ [G] _ _ [C] _ [A] _ [D] _
[C] Mickey Riley he went to the racist of the day,
[D] He won twenty dollars and [G] he shouted him hooray.
[C] He held up [G] the note shouting, Look at what I've got.
[D] The goat [G] came up and grabbed the tips and swallowed [C] up the lot.
He said, make back notes of Mickey with a hump,
[G] They ran for the doctor and he brought a stomach pump,
[F] He pumped [C] and he [G] pumped for the twenty [C] dollar note,
[F] But all he [D] got was [Em] night, but so did [C] Penny McGinty's goat.
_ [A] _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ [G] _
[C] Well, an old Irish guy, do you think it was [G] romance?
[D] They adopted the goat [G] and they brought him off to France,
The day that they landed he heard the bugle blow,
[D] He ducked his [G] little cranium and ran to [C] meet the foe,
The Germans retreated, hurriedly they fled,
[G] _ Hoaring their nose as they tumbled over dead,
[F] _ [C] Axes the [G] Kaiser, there's poison [C] gas afloat,
[D] But it was only [G] the effluvium from Penny McGinty's goat.
[C] _ [A] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [G]
[C] Off the west coast of Ireland one morning they were seen,
[G] [D] As plain as any pipes [G] they were German submarines,
[C] When the Coast Guard baloney fell [Em] into a fit,
[D] Says Penny [G] McGinty's goat, it's time for me to [C] do me bit,
He jumped into the water as frisky as a whale,
[G] Swam around a U-boat wagging his little tail,
He upped with his horn and he stopped it [C] in the boat,
[G] And sent them all to hell, he go landed Penny [Am] McGinty's goat.
_ _ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _
[C] Now old Penny's goat had no wonderous appetite,
[D] One day for [G] breakfast he ate some dynamite,
[C] A whole box of matches he [G] swallowed all serene,
[D] Then [G] he went and swallowed up a quarter _ [C] paraffin,
Sat by the fireside he didn't give a hang,
[G] He swallowed his spark and exploded with a _ bang.
_ [F] So if you [Em] go to heaven [D] you can bear [C] that all a note,
[D] That the angel [G] with the whiskers on is [Am] Penny McGinty's goat. _ _
