The Ram
As I was going to Darby town, along the market day
I met the biggest ram, sir, that ever fed on hay
Chorus:
And then he rambled, he rambled
Yes, he rambled till the butchers cut him down
This ram that I did see, sir, had wool down to the ground
A tailor pulled a strand of it to make his wife a gown
Chorus
This ram he had two horns, sir, that reached up to the moon
A man climbed up in April, and he didn't come down till June
Chorus
This ram he had four hooves, sirs, and on them he did stand
And every step he took, sir, it covered an acre of land
Chorus
This ram he had a head, sir, that reached up to the sky
The eagles built their nests in it, I heard the young ones cry
Chorus
This ram he had a tooth, sir, it was hollow as a horn
And when we took its measure, why it held a bushel of corn
Chorus
And if you don't believe me, sir, and if you think I lie
Go ask the people of Darby, sir, they'll tell you the same as I
Chorus
Yes he rambled till the butchers cut him down (x2)
