Dad brought home a great big billy goat, Mom she washed 'most ev'ry day, She hung her clothes out on the line, That dog-goned billy goat he came that way. He jerked down that red flannel shirt, You ought to have heard those buttons crack, But I'll get even with that son-of-a-gun, I'll tie him across the railroad track. Well, I tied him across the railraod track, And the train ws a-comin' at a powerful rate, He coughed up that old red shirt, He flagged down that darned old freight. I went into the depot and bought me a ticket Walked right in and I sat right down, Stuck my ticket in the brim of my hat, That dog-goned wind blowd it out on the ground. Conductor came around and said gimme your ticket, Or you'll be left on the railroad track, I'll get even with that son-of-a-gun, Got a one-way ticket and I ain't a-comin' back.
