The Goat Lyrics

Sonny Boy Williamson The Goat

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 cant 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
