As I came in by Derby,
T'was on a market day,
I spied the biggest ram sir
That ever was fed on hay

And indeed me lads, it's true me lads,
I never was known to lie,
And if you'd have been in Derby
You'd have seen it same as I

This ram was fat behind sir,
This ram was fat before,
And ever'time its hooves to the ground
They covered an acre or more

And indeed me lads, it's true me lads,
I never was known to lie,
And if you'd have been in Derby
You'd have seen it same as I

The space between this ram's horns
Was built so mighty wide,
That a coach foot six could go betwixt
With a footman by the side

And indeed me lads, it's true me lads,
I never was known to lie,
And if you'd have been in Derby
You'd have seen it same as I

This ram, he had a tail, sir
That reached down into Hell
And every time he waggled it
It rang the fireman's bell

And indeed me lads, it's true me lads,
I never was known to lie,
And if you'd have been in Derby
You'd have seen it same as I

The singers of this song, sir
We're called Sweeney's Men
Another couple of pints, sir
And we'll sing for you again

And indeed me lads, it's true me lads,
I never was known to lie,
And if you'd have been in Derby
You'd have seen it same as I

Now, if you don't believe me, sir
And if you think I lie
Just ask the folks in Derbyshire
They're better liars than I

And indeed me lads, it's true me lads,
I never was known to lie,
And if you'd have been in Derby
You'd have seen it same as I
