As I went to Derby,
 All on a market day
I spied the biggest ram, sir,
 That ever fed on hay

And he rambled, rambled
Rambled all around, in and out of town,
And he rambled,
Didn't he ramble
He rambled till them butchers cut him down

Well he had four feet to stand, sir
 He had four feet to stand
And every one of those four feet
 It covered an acre of land

And he rambled, rambled
Rambled all around, in and out of town
And he rambled,
Didn't he ramble
He rambled till them butchers cut him down


Well the wool on the this ram's back, sir,
 It reached up to the sky
And the eagles built their nests there
 For I heard the young ones cry


And he rambled, rambled
Rambled all around, in and out of town
And he rambled,
Didn't he ramble
He rambled till them butchers cut him down


The horns on this rams head, sir
 They reached up to the moon
A man went up in January
 And didn't get back till June


And he rambled, rambled
Rambled all around, in and out of town
And he rambled,
Didn't he ramble
He rambled till them butchers cut him down


Well the butcher that cut him down, sir
 Was drowned in the blood
And the little boy who held the pole
 Was washed away in the flood


And he rambled, rambled
Rambled all around, in and out of town
And he rambled,
Didn't he ramble
He rambled till them butchers cut him down
