+====== The Derby Ram ======
+As I went out to Derby, upon a market day
+I spied the biggest ram, sir, that ever was fed on hay
+**Chorus:**
+//Hey ringle dangle, hey ringle day
+It was the biggest ram, sir, that ever was fed on hay//
+The horns upon this ram, sir, they reached up to the moon
+A lad went up in April and didn't get down 'til June
+[//choru//s]
+The fleece upon this ram, sir, it reached up to the sky
+The eagles made their nests there, you could hear the young 'uns cry
+[//chorus//]
+And all the boys of Derby come begging for his eyes
+To kick around the streets, sir, 'cause they was football size
+[//chorus//]
+And all the women of Derby come begging for his ears
+To make 'em leather aprons to last 'em forty years
+[//chorus//]
+And all the men of Derby come begging for his tail
+To ring St. George's passing bell from the top of Derby jail
+[//chorus//]
+It took all the boys of Derby to carry away his bones
+Took all the maids of Derby to roll away his stones
+[//chorus//]
+Now the butcher that killed this ram, sir, he was up to his thighs in blood
+The boy that held the basin was washed away in the flood
+[//chorus//]
+And now my song is over, I've got no more to say
+Just give us eggs and brandy and we'll be on our way
+[//chorus//]
