Social Songs
2  This ram was fat behind, sir. This ram was fat before, This ram was ten rod high, sir, (I'm sure he was no more).
3  This ram did have four feet, sir, And on them he did stand, And every hoof he had, sir,
It covered an acre of land.
4  The horns upon this ram, sir, They grew so very high
That every time he would rattle them They would rattle against the sky.
5  The wool upon this ram's back It grew so mighty high,
The eagles built their nests there And the young ones dast not fly.
6  Oh, the wool that's on this ram, sir, Was dragging on the ground. They took it to the weaver
And it weighed five thousand pound.
7  The wool growed on this ram's belly, It growed so short and thick,
It caused the girls in Darby A season for to pick.
8  The hair growed on this ram's sides, It grew so long and thin,
It caused the girls in Darby A season for to spin.
9  Oh, this ram he had two horns, sir, They reached up to the moon,
A man went up in January And never got down till June.
