As I went up to Darby's town
T'see what I could see
I saw the biggest, fattest ram
(That)was ever fed on hay
Filla my Darby ram, sir
Filla my ram-ber-ree
It was the biggest, fattest ram
That ever I did see
The wool growed on this rams back
Went soarin' to th sky
The ravens built their nest there
For I heered the young ones cry
Fill my Darby ram, sir
Fill my ram-ber-ree
It was th biggest, fattest ram
That ever I did see
Th horns growed on this ram, sir
Nearly reached th moon
A man went up in Aprile
An' never got back till June
Filla my Darby ram, sir
Filla my ram-ber-ree
It was the biggest, fattest ram
That ever I did see
The wool growed on this rams belly
Went draggin' to th ground
The devils grandma shaved 'em off
And made herself a gown
Filla my Darby ram, sir
Filla my ram-ber-ree
It was the biggest, fattest ram
That ever I did see
The man that butchered this ram, sir
Got drowned in the blood
An' those that were a standing 'round
Got washed away in the flood
Filla my Darby ram, sir
Filla my ram-ber-ree
It was the biggest, fattest ram
That ever I did see
The man that owned this ram, sir
Must'a been mighty rich
Or else the man that made this song
Was a liein'
