THE WONDERFUL DERBY RAM.
As I was going to Derby all on a market day,
I met the finest ram, sir, that ever was fed upon hay;
Upon hay, upon hay, upon hay;
I met the finest ram, sir, that ever was fed upon hay.
This ram was fat behind, sir, this ram was fat before;
This ram was ten yards round, sir; indeed he was no more;
No more, no more, no more;
This ram was ten yards round, sir; indeed he was no more.
The horns that grew on his head, sir, they were so won¬
drous high,
As I ve been plainly told, sir, they reached up to the sky ;
The sky, the sky, the sky;
As I ve been plainly told, sir, they reached up to the sky.
The tail that grew from his back, sir, was six yards and
an ell;
And it was sent to Derby to toll the market bell:
The bell, the bell, the bell;
And it was sent to Derby to toll the market bell.
