How to Talk to a Little Baby Goat

(Tom T. Hall)



How do you talk to a little baby goat

You can't go meow like a cat

When you go meow to a little baby goat

He can't go meow right back.



No, you have to say baaa to a little baby goat

You can't say hello like a man

You have to say baaa to a little baby goat

That's all he understands.



How do you talk to a little baby goat

You can't go cackle like a hen

When you go cackle to a little baby goat

It doesn't mean a thing to him.



So you have to say baaa to a little baby goat

You can't say hello like a man

You have to say baaa to a little baby goat

That's all he understands.



How do you talk to a little baby goat

You can't go quack like a duck

When you go quack to a little baby goat

It just doesn't mean very much.



So you can't go meow, cackle, quack to a goat

You can't say hello like a man

You can't go meow, cackle, quack to a goat

Remember you have to say baaa...
