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 wondrous 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. 302
