Subject: The Billy Goat Song

Well Susannah, that song was sung in my came on Long Island in the 70s. My version is very similar: There once was a goat (echo) by the name of Billy Goat (echo) This goat one day (echo) was feeing fine (echo) so he ate three shirts (echo) right off the line (echo) When the owner found out (e) what the goat had done(e) he said now goat (e) your time is done (e). So he took him down/to the railroad tracks/and tied him up/so he couldn't come back/Well the train pulled in/and the whistle blew/the poor goat said/my time is through/when the goat got to heaven/St. Peter said/Oh little goat/where is your head/Well said the goat/I cannot tell/for all I know/it went to hell! Does anyone know the lyrics to another clapping song which goes something like this: "The spades go 2 hearts together, twilight forever, bring back my love to me. What is the me-e-eaing of all the bites on your neck they tell the st-o-o-ry, the story of love, from you, to me. When we get ma-a--rried we'll have some chi-i-ldren, maybe 1 or two-o-o-o or maybe more or maybe more." (this is a variation of one I just found that begins "The spade is 2 hearts in heaven.")
