00:00I went to Derby upon a Christmas day It was there I met the finest ram that ever was fed on hay
00:08Well, he had four feet to walk, sir He had four feet to stand
00:14And every foot that he did have It covered a mile of land
00:19And indeed, my lads, it's true I never was known to lie
00:24And if you'd have been in Derby, you'd have seen the same as I
00:29Now the horns that grew on this ram's head They reached up to the moon
00:36And a boy went up in April And he didn't come down till June
00:41Now the horns that grew on this ram's head They grew so mighty wide
00:46That a coach and six could go betwixt With a footman by the side
00:51And indeed, my lads, it's true I never was known to lie
00:57And if you'd have been in Derby, you'd have seen the same as I
01:02Now this old ram, he had a tail It reached right down to hell
01:08And every time he waggled it It rang the old church battle
01:14And the butcher that killed this ram, sir Was up to his knees in blood
01:19And four and twenty butcher boys Drowned all in the flood
01:24And the flood, it's run for forty miles Sure, it'd run no more
01:30It turned the biggest water wheel That ever was heard before
01:35And if you'd have been in Derby, you'd have seen the same as I
01:47Now all the kings in Derby Come begging for his lies
01:52To take a bout in Derby Town For they were a football size
01:57And if you don't believe me And think it all they like
02:03Well, you go down to Derby Town And you'll see the same as I
02:08And indeed, my lads, it's true I never was known to lie
02:13And if you'd have been in Derby, you'd have seen the same as I
02:19And indeed, my lads, it's true I never was known to lie
02:24And if you'd have been in Derby Well, you go down to Derby
02:29And if you'd have been there When I see him, loss you'll see the same as I
02:33And!
