One little goat, one little goat that my father bought for two coins One little goat, one little goat. Along came a cat and ate the goat that my father bought for two coins, one little goat one little goat Along came a dog and bit the cat that ate the goat that my father bought for two coins... Along came a stick and beat the dog that... Along came a fire and burnt the stick that... Along came some water and extinguished the fire that... Along came an ox and drank the water that... Along came a slaughterer and slaughtered the ox that... Along came the angel of death and killed the slaughterer that... Along came the Holy One blessed be He and killed the angel of death that... |
