Ashley Had a Small Goat
Ashley Had a Small Goat
Oh, Ashley had a Small goat,
Small goat, Small goat,
Ashley had a Small goat,
And he had a coat of white
He followed her to school one day,
School one day, school one day,
He followed her to school one day,
And drank a some water.
Oh, once he ate a spinach can,
Spinach can, spinach can,
once he ate a spinach can,
Also a line of clothes.
The clothes can do no harm inside,
Harm inside, harm inside,
the clothes can do no harm inside,
But oh! The spinach can!
The can was filled with achemical,
chemical , chemical chemical,
The can was filled with a chemical,
Which the goat thought was food
He rubbed against poor Ashley's chin,
Ashley's chin, Ashley's chin,
He rubbed against poor Ashley's chin,
His deep distress to ease.
There was a flash of girl and goat,
Girl and goat, girl and goat
There was a flash of girl and goat
And they were seen no more..
(Slowly)
Ashley's soul to Heaven went,
Heaven went, Heaven went,
Ashley's soul to Heaven went,
And Mr. Goat went there too.
