Refrain

And, G it’s Am true, my lads, it’s G true, my lads, I E7 never was known to Am lie,
and if C you Am go G down to Am Derby, you’ll E7 see the same as Am I.

This ram he had four feet, sir, on four feet he did stand
And every time a foot went down it covered an acre of land.

This ram he had two horns, sir, they reached up to the moon,
A boy went up in January and he didn’t come down till June.

This ram, he had a tail, sir, it reached right down to hell,
And every time he waggled it, it rang the devil’s bell.

The man that killed this ram, sir, was drowned in his blood
And the little boy that held the bowl was washed away in the flood.

The little boys of Derby, sir, came beggin’ for his eyes
To kick about the streets, sir, for they were football sized.

And all the women of Derby, sir, came begging for his ears
To make ’em leather aprons to last them forty years.
