"The Derby Ram"
| |
|
|
|
| |
1. |
As I went down to Derby town,
All on a summer's day,
It's there I saw the finest ram,
That's ever fed on hay. |
|
| |
|
Refrain: |
|
| |
|
And if you don't believe me,
And think I tell a lie,
Just you go down to Derby,
And you'll see the same as I. |
|
| |
2. |
The wool upon the ram's back
It drug to the ground,
I hauled it to the market,
And it weighed ten thousand pounds.
|
|
| |
|
Refrain |
|
| |
3. |
The horns upon this ram's head
They reached to the moon,
The butcher went up on February,
And never got back till June.
