Текст песни The Derby Ram

Oh, as I was going to Derby
'Twas on the market day
I met with the finest ram, sir,
That ever was fed upon hay

That's a lie, that's a lie, that's a lie, a lie, a lie!

This ram and I got drunk, sir,
As drunk as drunk could be
And when we wakened up
We were far away out on the sea

That's a lie, that's a lie, that's a lie, a lie, a lie!

But this wonderful old ram, sir,
Was playful as a kid
He swallowed the captain's spyglass
Along with the bo's'n's fid

That's a lie, that's a lie, that's a lie, a lie, a lie!

One morning on the poopdeck
Before eight bells was rung
He borrowed the captain's sextant,
Took a shot at the sun

That's a lie, that's a lie, that's a lie, a lie, a lie!

And one night was wet and rough, sir,
The wind was blowing free
He borrowed me suit of oilskins
And took me trick at the wheel

That's a lie, that's a lie, that's a lie, a lie, a lie!

The butcher that killed the ram, sir,
Was up to his knees in blood
And the boy who told the tale,
He was washed away in the flood

That's a lie, that's a lie, that's a lie, a lie, a lie!

Oh, as I was going to Derby
'Twas on the market day
I met with the finest ram, sir,
That ever was fed upon hay

That's a lie, that's a lie, that's a lie, a lie, a lie!
That's a lie, that's a lie, a lie, a lie!
