Paddy McGinty toby jug - Kingston Pottery circa 1980

Paddy McGinty toby jug modeled by Peter Dunn and produced by Kingston Pottery of Hull, England, circa 1980. "Paddy McGinty's Goat" is a comic song written in 1917 by English songwriters Bert Lee and R. P. Weston. The song was performed in music halls from 1917. It tells the story of an aggressive goat which comes to the village of Killaloe in Ireland and terrorizes it by butting its inhabitants and eating everything in sight. The women of the village take to wearing bustles to protect themselves from the goat. The original 1917 lyrics had verses describing the goat's contribution to World War I, with it chasing submarines off the coast of Ireland and fighting with the Irish Guards on the Western Front.
