Derby's Ram\by George Waymick



1 I went down to darby's hose

Just the other day, to

to see the biggest sheep that ever treddle

hay.  He had four feet to walk and

he had four feet to stand.  And each

foot that he had covers a thousand acres 

of land.

Cours:  And if you don't believe me

and think I'm telling a lie just go down

to Darby's house and see as well as I.

2 the wool on the sheeps stomach goes to

the ground.

And when they sheared it off it wayed four

thousand pounds.

3 the wool on the sheeps back grew to the 

sky.  the eagles built their nest for 

I heard the babies cry.

4 the man that stuck the sheep got drownded

the man that held the pail got washed 

away in the flood,

5 the blood it ran a thousand miles or

more.  turned big water wheels that never

turned before.

6 the man that owned the sheep must

have been mighty rich.  the man that

wrote the song was the lying son of a ____.
