The Derby Ram

As I was going to Derby all on a market-day, 
I met the finest ram, sir, that ever was fed upon hay; 
Upon hay, upon hay, upon hay; 
I met the finest ram, sir, that ever was fed upon hay. 
This ram was fat behind, sir; this ram was fat before; 
This ram was ten yards round, sir; indeed, he was no more; 
No more, no more, no more; 
This ram was ten yards round, sir; indeed, he was no more. 
The horns that grew on his head, they were so wondrous high, 
As I've been plainly told, sir; they reached up to the sky. 
The sky, the sky, the sky; As I've been plainly told, sir, they reached up to the sky. 
The tail that grew from his back, sir, was six yards and an ell; 
And it was sent to Derby to toll the market bell; 
The bell, the bell, the bell; 
And it was sent to Derby to toll the market bell.
