Now Patrick McGinty, an [F#] Irishman of note, Fell in for a fortune and he bought himself a [B] goat,
Says he's sure of a goat's milk I'm [F#] going to have me fill,
But when he brought the [B] nanny home he found it was a bill. _
All the young ladies who live in Killaloe, [F#] They're all wearing bustles like their mothers used to do,
[E] They each wear [B] a [F#] bolster beneath their petty coat,
And leave the rest of [B] Providence and Paddy McGinty's load. _ _
[C] _ _ [C#] _ _ [F#] _ [B] Mrs.
Burke to her daughter said, Listen [F#] Mary [C#] Jane,
Who [F#] was the lad [C#] you were cuddling [F#] in the lane?
[B] He'd long wiry whiskers hanging [F#] from his chin,
T'was only Pat McGinty's [B] goat she answered with a grin.
Then she went away from the village in disgrace,
[F#] She came back with powder and paint upon her face,
[E] She'd [F#] rings on her fingers and she wore a sable [Cm] coat,
[C#m] You bet your [F#] life she didn't get [B] those from Paddy [F#] McGinty's goat.

Now Nora McCarthy the knot was [C] going to tie,
[C#m] She [F#] washed out her thruso and she hung it out to dry,
[B] Along came the goat and he saw [C] the bits of white,
[C#] And chewed [F#] up all her [B] folder as upon her midnight.
Oh turn out the light quick, she shouted out to Pat,
[F#] For though I'm your bride, sure I'm not worth looking at,
[E] I had to [B] have [F#] everything I told you when I wrote,
But now I've won a nothing [B] all through Paddy [F#] McGinty's [B] goat. _
[F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] Mickey Riley he went at the [F#] races the other day,
He won twenty dollars and he shouted hip hooray,
[B] He held up the note shouting look [C] it's what I've got,
[C#m] The goat [F#] came up and grabbed it and [B] he swallowed up the lot,
He's eaten me bank notes says Mickey with a hump,
[F#] They went for the doctor and they got a stomach pump,
[E] They [B] pumped and [F#] they pumped for the twenty [Cm] dollar note,
[C#] But all [F#] they got was [B] ninepence down with a Paddy McGinty's goat. _
[F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ [F#] _ [B] Now old Paddy's goat had a [F#] wondrous appetite,
And one day for breakfast he had some [B] dynamite,
A big box of matches he swallowed [Cm] all [C#] serene,
Then [F#] out he went and he swallowed up a quarter [B] paraffin,
He sat by the fireside he [F#] didn't give a hang,
He swallowed a spark and exploded with [D#m] a bang. _
_ [E] So if you go [B] to heaven [F#] you can bet [B] a dollar note,
_ [G] [F#] That the angel with the whiskers [B] on his Paddy McGinty's goat,
[G] Is Mickey with a hump. _ _ _ _ _ _
