[C] [G] run [Dm] in with an Audrey Goad last year at a [G] festival.
[A] We do this song and think of that goat every time.
It came right up on stage and ate our set list
and we never heard [Am] from it again.
[B] [Am] It's a great story.
If you don't believe it, it's just more than a reason
to like us on Facebook.
We got a [Em] photographic [Am] proof.

[C] My papa bought him a great big billy goat.
One that you always used to believe in.
[F] Bought him clothes and all [C] the money.
Well, the dog gone go, well, he come that way.
Now he ripped off the red flannel shirt
and he just started hurting them buttons crack.
[F] Well, I'll get even with the sight [C] of a gun.
I'm gonna tie him across a railroad [Eb] track.
[C] Well, I tied him across a railroad track.
That train was coming as a [G] car [F] parade.
He bounced the bat on red [C] shirt.
And blacked down that dog gone train.

To the depot, I bought me a ticket.
I walked right in and saw it right [F] now.
Stuck the ticket in the front of my [C] hat.
Put the dog on, wind blew it out on the ground.
Hey conductor, come along tonight and give me your ticket.
Have to pay again or be left on the track.
[F] Oh, I'll get even with the sight of [C] a gun.
Got a round trip ticket, but I ain't coming back.
[F] [C]
[Am] [F] [C]
[G] [C] Now I had no hand, she had a wooden leg.
The best third hand I've ever played in a day.
[F] Laid more eggs than any head [Cm] on a farm.
And a little [G] bit of shine won't leave me [C] no heart.
