Brian Peters - The Derby Ram lyrics

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 spygla** 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 s**tant 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 k**ed 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!
