    There was a man
    Now please take note
    There was a man
    Who had a goat
    He loved that goat
    Indeed he did
    He loved that goat
    Just like a kid

    One day that goat
    Felt frisk and fine
    Ate three red shirts
    Right off the line
    The man, he grabbed
    Him by the back
    And tied him to
    A railroad track

    Now, when that train
    Hove into sight
    That goat grew pale
    And green with fright

    He heaved a sigh
    As if in pain
    Coughed up those shirts
    And flagged the train!


    Ours went a little different. It was BILL GROGAN'S GOAT.
    There was a road not to far from the Camp Strake Boy Scout Camp in Conroe, Texas called Grogan Mill Road.

    Bill Grogan's goat
    Was feelin' fine
    Ate three red shirts
    Right off the line

    Bill grabbed a stick
    Gave him a wack!
    And tied him to
    A railroad track

    A speeding train
    Was growing nigh
    Bill Grogan's goat
    Was doomed to die

    He gave a sheik
    Of utter pain
    Coughed up those shirts
    And flagged the train

    The song leader would sing a line and the Scouts would repeat that line. Can't describe the melody other than it mimicked the rhythm of the train.
