  • As I was going to Darby Sir
    All on a market day
    I met the finest Ram Sir
    That ever was fed on hay

    Daddle-i-day daddle-i-day
    Fal-de-ral fal-de-ral daddle-i-day

    This Ram was fat behind Sir
    This Ram was fat before
    This Ram was ten yards high Sir
    Indeed he was no more

    Daddle-i-day daddle-i-day
    Fal-de-ral fal-de-ral daddle-i-day

    The Wool upon his back Sir
    Reached up unto the sky
    The Eagles made their nests there Sir
    For I heard the young ones cry

    Daddle-i-day daddle-i-day
    Fal-de-ral fal-de-ral daddle-i-day Lyrics from a song in Public Domain
