    Clinton's Goat.
    1
    I just had my dinner
    And was sitting down at ease
    When Clinton said "Now Gibbons"
    Will you help me if you please.

    I want to catch this little goat
    She'll put me on my feet
    I asked Nevin if he'd give her
    When I met him on the street.
    3
    "Indeed I will" said Nevin
    But she's a little bold
    You'll find it hard to catch her Mick
    She's only three years old.

    She was bred by Jimmy Halpin
    And I reared her from a kid
    She ran us round the farm
    Till she nearly had us dead.
