Bill Grogan’s Girl
Bill Grogan’s girl
was feeling fine;
wore her red dress
fresh off the line.
Bill took a stick
gave her a whack
and tied her to
the railroad track.
The whistle blew
the train grew nigh
Bill Grogan’s girl
was sure to die.
She gave three groans
of awful pain
inhaled big
and flagged the train!
With all due apologies to Bill Grogan’s Goat.

Here are the lyrics we learned in grade school (I’m over 40 now)
(One sings, another echoes each line)
“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
from off the line.
The man he grabbed
it by the back,
and tied it to
the railroad track.
Now when that train
drove into sight,
that goat grew pale
and green with fright.
It heaved a sigh
as if in pain,
coughed up those shirts
and flagged the train!”
[Anybody remember “Senior Don Gato” (was a cat…)]
