Now [F#] Patrick McGinty, an [F#] Irishman of note, Fell in for a fortune and he bought himself a goat,
[B] Says he's sure of a goat's milk I'm going to have me fill,
[F#] But when he brought the nanny home he found it was a bill.
All the young [B] ladies who live in Killaloe, They're all wearing bustles like their mothers used to [E] do,
They each [B] wear a bolster [F#] beneath their petty coat,
[C#] And leave [F#] the rest to Providence and Paddy McGinty's goat.
[C]
[C#] [F#] Mrs.
Burke to her daughter said, Listen [F#] Mary Jane,
Who was the lad you were cuddling in the lane?
He'd long wiry whiskers a-hanging from his chin,
[C#] T'was only Paddy [F#] McGinty's goat she answered with a [B] grin.
Then she went away from the [F#] village in disgrace,
She came back with powder and paint upon her [E] face,
She'd rings on her fingers and she wore a sable [C#] coat,
You bet [F#] your life she didn't get [B] those from Paddy McGinty's goat.
[E] [C#] [F#] Now Nora McCarthy the knot was [Cm] going to tie,
She washed out her trousseau and she hung it out to dry,
[B] Along came the goat and he saw the bits of white,
[C#] And chewed up all her folder rolls [B] upon her wedding night.
Oh turn out the light quick, she shouted out to [F#] Pat,
For though I'm your bride, sure I'm not worth looking [E] at,
I had [B] to have everything [F#] I told you when I wrote,
But now I've won a-nothing [B] all through Paddy [F#] McGinty's goat.
[C#] [F#] Mickey Riley he went to the races the other day,
[C#] He won twenty [F#] dollars and he shouted, Hip hurray!
[B] He held up [F#] the note shouting, Look at what I've got,
[C#] The goat came up and grabbed it and he [B] 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 [E] pump,
They pumped [B] and they pumped [F#] for the twenty dollar [F#] note,
But all they got was ninepence out of Paddy McGinty's goat.
[B]
[C#] [F#] Now old Paddy's goat had a wondrous appetite,
[C#] And one day for [F#] breakfast he had some dynamite,
[F#] A big box of matches he swallowed all [C#] serene,
Then out he [F#] went and swallowed up a quarter [B] paraffin,
He sat by the fireside, he didn't give a hang,
He swallowed a spark and exploded with [D#m] a bang.
[E] So if you go to heaven, [F#] you can bet a [B] dollar note,
[F#] That the angel with the whiskers on [B] this Paddy McGinty's goat,
[B] Says he's sure of a goat's milk I'm going to have me fill,
[F#] But when he brought the nanny home he found it was a bill.
