10 The ram had a hollow jaw tooth Held sixty bushels of corn.
The man he took the hollow jaw tooth For to make him a biowinJ horn.
11 That ram he had long, long hair Reached way down to the ground, The devil stole a strand of hair And made his wife a gown.
12 The ram he had a great long tail Reached way down to hell. Every time he wagged the tail He rang that hotel bell
13 This ram he had two horns, sir, And they were made of brass, One come out of po5 oP head
And the other come out of his yup se doo-la lolly.
14 The man that butchered this ram Was a-scairt of his life.
He sent to Philadelphy
And got him a four-foot knife.
15 The man that butchered this ram, sir, Got drownded in the blood,
The man that held the basin Got washed away in the flood.
16 The blood did run twenty-four mile, sir, (I'm sure it was no more).
It turned an overshot mill, sir, That never was turned before.
17 His head was in the meat market, His tail was in the street,
All the ladies come along
Says, "Here's your market meat."
