Well, Paddy McGinty bought a house, and lived in Sunday's Well,
   F                              C
Situated on the north side of the Lee.
          F                      C
Well, he lived all alone in his cosy little home,
      D7                         G
So he bought a goat to keep him company.
           C                       C
Well, says Paddy to the goat, "For you I'll buy a coat,
      F                          C
And a visit to Cork city we will pay",
         F                                C
But the goat kicked up a mountain when he saw the Barrack fountain,
       C                    G              C
On the night the goat broke loose on Grand Parade.

Well, on the night the goat broke loose on Grand Parade,
        F                       C
All the people of Cork city got afraid,
        F                                         C
And the shouts went through the country, that The Glen had won the County
       C                    G              C
On the night the goat broke loose on Grand Parade.

Well, Mary Ellen Warner stood at Woodford Byrne's corner,
             F                               C
Sayin' “I'll catch a train to Dublin or I'll die”,
        F                              C
But the goat came up behind her and he gave her such a winder
      D7                           G
She hadn't time to bid her friends goodbye.
    C
And Mary Ann Fitzgibbons got her drawers torn to ribbons
F                      C
Running to the Munster Arcade,
       F                              C
And it was a sad bereavement when she landed on the pavement
       C                    G              C
On the night the goat broke loose on Grand Parade.

Well, on the night the goat broke loose on Grand Parade,
F                         C
Mary Anne Fitzgibbons got afraid.
         F                            C
She went haring down the Coal Quay it was worse than any polka
       C                    G              C
On the night the goat broke loose on Grand Parade.


           C
Well, the people up in Barrack street, when they heard the dreadful news,
     F                                      C
They all swore out in vengeance what they'd do,
        F                            C
So they lined the street in batches, armed with saws and hatchets,
    D7                               G
But when the goat appeared, they all withdrew.
        C
Now the goat came through a door, roaring like a whore,
F                           C
Followed by Cork city fire brigade,
          F                                C
And 'twas at the South dock Pier, where he landed in the Weir
        C          G              C
And was never seen again on Grand Parade.
