As I went down to Darby,
all on a market day,
I spied the biggest ram,
sir, that ever did feed on hay.
It's true me lad, it's true me lad,
I never was known to lie,
but if you go down to Darby,
you'll see the same as I.
Well, horns upon this ram, sir,
they reached up to the moon.
A man climbed up in January,
and he didn't get back till June.
Well, it's true, me lad,
true, me lad,
I never was known to lie.
But if you go down to Darby,
you'll see the same as I.
Well, the wool upon this ram,
sir, draped down to the ground.
The devil cut a lock of it
to make his wife a gown
And it's true, my lad, true, my lad,
I never was known to lie
But if you go down to Darby,
you'll see the same as I
Well, the wolf upon this ram,
sir, reached up to the sky
The eagles built their nests in it,
you could hear the young ones cry
And it's true, my lad,
true, my lad,
I never was known to lie
But if you go down to Darby,
you'll see the same as I
Well, the man that killed this ram,
sir,
he feared for his life
He sent to Philadelphia to get him a
four -foot knife
And it's true, Milan, true, Milan,
I never was known to lie
But if you go down to Darby,
you'll see the same as I
Well, the man that killed this ram, sir,
was drowned in the blood,
And the little boy that held the bowl
was washed away in the flood.
And it's true, me lad, true, me lad,
I never was known to lie,
But if you go down to Darby,
you'll see the same as I.
Well, the man that owned this ram, sir,
was mighty rich and fine,
But not so much a liar
as the singer of these lines.
It's true me lad, true me lad,
I never was known to lie
If you go down to Darby,
you'll see the same as I
Well it's true me lad, it's true me lad,
I never was known to lie
But if you go down to Darby,
you'll see the same as I
