As I went down to Derby twas on a market dayI've spied the biggest ram, sir, that ever was fed on hayand, indeed, my lads, it's true, my lads, I never was known to lie,And if you'd been in Derby, you'd seen him the same as I.This ram he had four feet, sir, four feet to standAnd every time a feet went down they covered an acre of landand, indeed, my lads, it's true, my lads, I never was known to lie,And if you'd been in Derby, you'd seen him the same as I.This ram he had two horns, sir, that reached up to the moon,A boy went up in January and he didn't come down till June.and, indeed, my lads, it's true, my lads, I never was known to lie,And if you'd been in Derby, you'd seen him the same as I.this ram, he had a tail,sir, it reached right down to hell,And every time he waggled it rung the devil's bell.and, indeed, my lads, it's true, my lads, I never was known to lie,And if you'd been in Derby, you'd seen him the same as I.The man that killed this ram, sir, it was drown in his bloodAnd the little boy who held the bowl was wash away in the flood.and, indeed, my lads, it's true, my lads, I never was known to lie,And if you'd been in Derby, you'd seen him the same as I.The little boys of Derby was beggin for his eyesTo kick up and down the streets for they were of a football's size.and, indeed, my lads, it's true, my lads, I never was known to lie,And if you'd been in Derby, you'd seen him the same as I.And all the women of Derby come begging for his earsTo make 'em leather aprons to last 'em forty yearsand, indeed, my lads, it's true, my lads, I never was known to lie,And if you'd been in Derby, you'd seen him the same as I.Now if you don't belive me, sir, or think i tell a lieJust ask the folk of Derby, 'Cos they're bigger liars than I,and, indeed, my lads, it's true, my lads, I never was known to lie,And if you'd been in Derby, you'd seen him the same as I.
