The Goat - Sonny Boy Williamson II

There was an animal called a goat, he butted his way out of the Supreme Court

Said, «Let him go»

Yeah, said, «Let him go, because he butt so hard till you can’t use him in our

court no more»

Judge give him five hours to get out of town, he got five miles down the road

and committed another crime

That’s when the high sheriff happened to be coming along, and caught the billy

goat eating up an old farmer’s corn

High sheriff taken the billy goat to the county jail, but the desk sergeant

can’t said that «I'll go his bail, let him go»

A medicine doctor bought the billy goat, had a great big stage show

The billy goat got mad and butt him right down in the lonesome floor

So let him go, please, please, let him go, because he butt so hard till I can’t

use him in our court no more

Ooh
