[F]
[A] Pappy bought me a great big billy goat, mama she washed most every day.
Hung the clothes out on the line, and the gosh darn goat, well he came that way.
Well he started eating on my old red shirt, I oughta heard them buttons crack.
I got even with the son of a gun, I'm gonna tie him across the railroad track.
So I tied him across the railroad crack, and the train keep it coming at a thousand rate.
He coughed up them old red shirts, and the gosh darn goat, well he flagged that [F] train.
[Eb] Well the darn fool, the old fool, I married me a widow, and the widow had a daughter, and her name was Ma.
I [F] married the widow, and my daddy married the daughter, and now my daddy is my own son-in-law.
[G]
Well I went to the station, and I bought me a ticket, and I hopped on the train, and I sat right down.
Sucked the ticket in the brim of my hat, and the wind came along, blew it out on the ground.
Well the conductor came along for to collect my ticket, I had to get another again out on the track.
I get even with the son of a gun, I buy a round trip ticket, and I ain't a [F] coming back.
