  1. (continued from previous page)
    It went up in the month of Sept.
    And it didnt come down till June
    The butcher that killed this ram sir
    He was up to his eyes in blood
    And the ould "cailleach" that held the basin
    She was swept away with the flood
    All the women of Derbyshire came out for this ram's eyes
    To kick them around the country
    For they were football size.
