• Derby Ram

As I came in by Derby,
T’was on a market day,
I spied the biggest ram sir
That ever was fed on hay

And indeed me lads, it’s true me lads,
I never was known to lie,
And if you’d have been in Derby
You’d have seen it same as I

This ram was fat behind sir,
This ram was fat before,
And ever’time its hooves to the ground
They covered an acre or more

And indeed me lads, it’s true me lads,
I never was known to lie,
And if you’d have been in Derby
You’d have seen it same as I

The space between this ram’s horns
Was built so mighty wide,
That a coach foot six could go betwixt
With a footman by the side

And indeed me lads, it’s true me lads,
I never was known to lie,
And if you’d have been in Derby
You’d have seen it same as I

This ram he had a tail, sir
That reached down into Hell,
And ever’time he waggled it
It rang the fireman’s bell

And indeed me lads, it’s true me lads,
I never was known to lie,
And if you’d have been in Derby
You’d have seen it same as I

The singers of this song, sir
We’re called “Sweeney’s Men”,
Another couple o’ pints, sir
And we’ll sing it for you again

And indeed me lads, it’s true me lads,
I never was known to lie,
And if you’d have been in Derby
You’d have seen it same as I

Now if you don’t believe me, sir
And if you think I lie,
Just ask the folks in Derbyshire,
They’re better liars than I

And indeed me lads, it’s true me lads,
I never was known to lie,
And if you’d have been in Derby
You’d have seen it same as I
