Val Doonican - Paddy McGlnty's Goat (with lyrics)

[SheLovesSmoothJazz]

I'd love to see "Jennifer's Rabbit" posted on YouTube. Can't find Val Doonican's version anywhere. Loved it as a child!

[MyNameIsBertram]

@SheLovesSmoothJazz I only have the Tom Paxton version :(

[kanylchloride]

11/10.

If that's a 1st attempt ... It's a right BELTER!

:¬))

[Rikkyhardo]

@kanylchloride aye it was me first Utoob vid ... it was so much fun that I couldn't stop. I've illustrated quitev a few now and still haven't had enough, infact i even made more channels for other styles of music.

Val and Rolf were my favs to make tho cos there were not so many of them posted when I first started.

[maginters]

my last name is McGinty

[TheUltimateCrafters]

Does anyone remember the name of the song about "his brother who had an arm like a leg and a punch that would sink a battleship"????

[gizmobentess1]

[Rikkyhardo]

@molliemollie17 We did the same at my mum's funeral but played *I do Like to be Beside the Seaside* at the end cos it was me mum's favourite song and her happiest times were on the coast.

[JoeyDPro2009]

My Uncle Came Up With A Verse

On The West Coast Of Ireland One Morning There Was Seen

As Plain As A Pikestaff, A German Submarine

The Coastguard Maloney Fell Over In A Fit

When Up Came Paddy McGintys Goat For Him To Do His Bit

He Dived In The Water As Frisky As A Whale

He Swam Round The U Boat And Wagged His Little Tail

He Upped With His Horns Right In The Bally Lot

And Knocked The Hunt To Heligoland Did Paddy McGintys Goat!

[carolees1962]

[Rikkyhardo]

Yes Daniel this is such a funny song ... I'm sure there can't be too many people that could listen to this song and not laugh, or at least smile.

Regarding us all going of with a bang ... keep our fingers crossed 'cos it might be sooner than we think!!!

[6burkie9]

they had dollars in ireland in the 1930s apparently

[DanielR305]

it they were prob from when a lot of Irish descents came back to Ireland to live I think because up to that inshuall point in Ireland population of Ireland was very sparce and land was left in a terrible state so their were a lot came back us to live but the Irish punt was not valued very much at the time, but the dollar was and it was encourge people to use their dollars, to improve the lives of the irish people and also the same was done with the British shillings and pounds aswell.

[6burkie9]
