  1. Local Song - The Ram From Delvin

    Share Share Post
    Ram, Dam the Darby
    Upon the market day
    I sold the finest ram sir
    That ever was fed on hay.
    With my Hi Dingle Darby
    Darby, Dingle, Day
    With my Hi, Dingle, Darby
    Upon the market Day.
    O this ram he had two ears
    That reached to the sky
    The eagles built their nest of clay and you could hear
    the young ones cry
    With my Hi, Dingle, Darby
    Darby, Dingle, Day.
    With my Hi, Dingle, Darby
    Upon the market Day.
    O this ram he had two horns.
