Paddy McGinty's Goat

It tells the story of an aggressive goat which comes to the village of Killaloe in Ireland and terrorises it by butting its inhabitants and eating everything in sight.

[2] It was recorded by the Irish singer Val Doonican in 1964 on the Decca label as the B-side of "Delaney's Donkey".

The original 1917 lyrics had verses describing the goat's contribution to World War I, with it chasing submarines off the coast of Ireland and fighting with the Irish Guards on the Western Front.

[4] The plot is somewhat similar to that of "Bill Groggin's Goat", a song that is thought to be based on a Robert Service poem, "The Ballad Of Casey's Billy-Goat" in Bar Room Ballads [5][6] The village of Killaloe mentioned in the song is a large village in east County Clare, Ireland.
