Interesting, Bruce. I know that song from when I was a kid, but we learned it with pretty significantly different lyrics:
Bill Grogan's goat
Was feeling fine
Ate three red shirts
Right off the line
Bill gave that goat
An awful whack
And tied him to
The railroad tracks
The whistle blew
The train grew nigh
Bill Grogan's goat
Was sure to die
But he gave a groan
Of awful pain
Coughed up those shirts
And flagged that train!
