_Derby Ram
_

As I was going to Derby,
Upon a market day,
I saw the biggest ram, sir,
That ever was fed on hay.

Chorus:

And didn't he ramble, ramble?
He rambled all round,
In and out of the town,
(Oh) didn't he ramble, ramble?
Well, he rambled '
til them butchers cut him down.

The wool upon his back, sir,
Was a hundred stories high,
'Twas there the eagles built their nest,
I heard the little ones cry,

Chorus:

The horns upon his head, sir,
They reached up to the sky,
A man climbed up in January
And didn't come down ' til July.

Chorus:

V4: The wool upon his tail, sir,
Filled more than fifty bags,
You'd better not stand behind, sir
When that tail shakes and wags.

Chorus:

The butcher that cut him down, sir,
Was drownded (sic) in the blood,
And the little boy
Who held the bowl,
Was washed away in the flood.

Chorus:
