pete seeger - ram of darby lyrics
as i went down to darby
all on a market day
i spied the biggest ram, sir
that ever did feed on hay
it’s true me lad, it’s true me lad
i never was known to lie
but if you go down to darby
you’ll see the same as i
well the horns upon this ram, sir
they reached up to the moon
a man climbed up in january
and he didn’t get back till june
it’s true me lad, it’s true me lad
i never was known to lie
but if you go down to darby
you’ll see the same as i
well the wool upon this ram, sir
draped down to the ground
the devil caught a lock of it
to make his wife a gown
it’s true me lad, it’s true me lad
i never was known to lie
but if you go down to darby
you’ll see the same as i
well the wool upon this ram, sir
reached up to the sky
the eagles built their nest in it
you can hear the young ones cry
it’s true me lad, it’s true me lad
i never was known to lie
but if you go down to darby
you’ll see the same as i
well the man that k!lled this ram, sir
he feared for his life
he sent to philadelphia
to get him a four-foot knife
it’s true me lad, it’s true me lad
i never was known to lie
but if you go down to darby
you’ll see the same as i
well the man that k!lled this ram, sir
was drowned in the blood
and the little boy that held the bull
was washed away in the flood
it’s true me lad, it’s true me lad
i never was known to lie
but if you go down to darby
you’ll see the same as i
well the man that owned this ram, sir
was mighty rich and fine
but not so much a liar
as the singer of these lies
it’s true me lad, it’s true me lad
i never was known to lie
but if you go down to darby
you’ll see the same as i
it’s true me lad, it’s true me lad
i never was known to lie
but if you go down to darby
you’ll see the same as i
