There was a ram in Darby town,

6     7   -7  -6  6 -6
Most wond'rous to behold.

7  7 -7  -6    6  -6    6    5
If he is worth a cent, they say,

4  4   -4  -4  5   5   4
He is worth a ton of gold.

Refrain:

Tommy fol, lol, linktum.

6  5  -4   -4   -4   5   4
Di-de fol, lol, linkdum day.

Verses

The ram he had wool on his back
That reached up to the sky.
The eagles built their nests in it
We heard the young ones say.

This ram had a pair of horns
That reached up to the moon.
A man climbed them in February
And never came down til June.

The ram he had a pair of tusks
That reached into the ground.
And they wee sent to London
For thirty thousand pounds.

And when they fed the ram
They fed him twice a day.
And every time they fed him
He'd eat a ton of hay.

And when they watered this ram
And they watered him twice a day,
And every time they watered him, sir,
He trank the creek away.

Now if you don't believe me
And think I tell a lie,
Just go down to Darby town
And see the same as I.
