The Darby Ram

The Darby Ram - The Kossoy Sisters

As I went out to Darby

Along a market day

And I spied the biggest prancer

That was ever fed on hay

And he rambled rambled

Rambled all around

In and out of town

Didn't he ramble

He did ramble

Well he rambled 'till them butchers cut him down

He had four feet to walk sir

He had four feet to stand

And every one of those four feet

They covered an acre of land

And he rambled rambled

Rambled all around

In and out of town

Didn't he ramble

He did ramble

Well he rambled 'till them butchers cut him down

Wool on 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

Didn't he ramble

He did ramble

Well he rambled 'till them butchers cut him down

This ram had a horn sir

That reached up to the moon

A man went up in January

And he didn't get back 'till June

And he rambled rambled

Rambled all around

In and out of town

Didn't he ramble

He did ramble

Well he rambled 'till them butchers cut him down

The butcher that cut him down sir

Was rounded in the blood

And the little boy who held the bowl

Was washed away in the flood

And he rambled rambled

Rambled all around

In and out of town

Didn't he ramble

He did ramble

Well he rambled 'till them butchers cut him down
